GYUTO MONASTERY

Place Details:

Silent and steeped in mythos, the Gyuto Monastery is an important point of interest in the town of Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh. If you keep your eyes, ears and mind open, you can find out more about Tibetan culture and heritage, including facets and stories that cannot be heard anywhere else. While the monastery has attracted plenty of visitors lately, it is still a haven of peace and serenity in an otherwise packed tourist town. The place also holds workshops, seminars and classes that enlighten you about Tibetan culture, particularly the Gyuto Order that practices here. The Gyuto Order is a Tantric section of the Gelug Order, founded in 1475 as a major Tantric university in Tibet, where monks would practice and master the art of Vajrayana.

Today, the monastery that was once in Lhasa, Tibet is now here in Dharamsala, but it still has the air and reverence that the original monastery held centuries ago. Home of the 17th Karmapa, the spiritual leader of the Karma Kagyu, the temple hosts the Karmapa Puja that is definitely worth seeing if you get the opportunity to do so, with monks chanting and a very different sort of energy in the temple during the rituals. The temple itself is beautifully built in a style similar to the original monastery in Lhasa.
