Join Our Cause: Together, Let's Preserve the Essence of Tibetan Buddhism at Kag Chode Monastery and School

Kag Chode Monastic School

Kag Chode Thupten Samphel Ling Monastery once famed for being an important center for traditional Tibetan Buddhist studies and practice suffered an immense decline from the early 19th century. The decline continued till late 1980s when a handful of young boys from the area got an opportunity to join some of the newly established monasteries and monastic institute in India founded by some of the leading masters of Sakyapa tradition.
