    Sera Monastery

      Sera Monastery is one of three famous monasteries in Tibet along with the Drepung Monastery and the Ganden Monastery. It is the latest built building among three Monasteries. The Sera Monastery, located at the foot of Tatipu Hill in the northern suburb of Lhasa City, is one of the three major monasteries of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. It was built in 1419, the monastery means “Wild Rose Monastery” in Tibetan language. There is a main hall, three Dratsang (college) and 29 khumtsen (dormitory of monks). There are over 5,500 monks at most. The monastery still keeps over ten thousand of vajra Buddha, most of which are made locally in Tibet. Many of them are copper statue of Buddha brought from mainland or India. Main hall and walls of other monk dormitories and chapels maintain a lot of original color murals. There are Jie, Me, and Nga-pa three scripture halls and colleges. Sera Je College is the largest college where the monks study the Sutras. Sera Me College is the next largest college, where the monks study medicine. The third college is Sera Ngag-pa College, the Tantric College. There are more than 9,000 Buddhist monks in that temple during the golden age. Sera Monastery did not suffer from serious destruction in her history.
