In Tibet, the monastic shedras (Buddhist Universities) maintain the authenticity and heritage of the Buddha’s teachings. One such university is Dzongsar Institute, in Derge, Eastern Tibet, founded by Rimé master Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo in 1871. It quickly became a major center of Buddhist learning and became famous for its scholastic excellence under the supervision of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. Over the years, Dzongsar Institute graduated many important scholars and khenpos, significantly contributing to the revival of Buddhist teachings during the period. Dzongsar Tibet was totally destroyed during the political turmoil of the 1960s. Teaching and learning has to stop for over twenty years.
