Sera Monastery Review

Just in time for the annual law meeting of the New Year, I saw the big change, the support of people and other activities, the content is rich, and the tour guide Tashi explained in detail, warm and thoughtful, and we have almost three hours, very attentive!

This monastery is wonderful. Every day from 3 pm, except Saturdays, it is possible to witness the monks' debate.

The Sera Temple, together with Zhexuan Temple and Gandan Temple, is the latest of the three major temples in Lhasa. There is the most famous debate ceremony in Tibetan areas. The debate is held in the northernmost debate venue in the temple. There are a lot of people watching the debate, and you can occupy a good place early. Many temples of Sera have preserved older murals, it is best to bring a flashlight or headlight for easy appreciation. Tens of thousands of Buddha statues have been preserved in the temple, some locally made and a few brought from the mainland or India.

The tour guide is very good and commendable

It’s a bit far from the city of Lhasa, but it’s good to have a direct bus. You have to arrive at 1 pm and you can see the monks in the temple!

Take a taxi to the Sera Temple, unfortunately did not catch up with the argument,
