Introduction
Sera Monastery
Why Sera Monastery is special
The Sera Monastery is one of China's elite Buddhist monastic educational institutions. It dates back to the early 15th century. Major tourism highlights include watching the lively student monk debates and viewing notable religious artworks and relics.

Interesting insights about the Sera Monastery
(1) The Sera Monastery is a large complex of buildings. These include large religious halls, three respected Buddhist religious colleges, and many monk dormitories.

(2) The major focus of the monastery is education, not worship (though the latter is still an intense pursuit).

Sera Monastery draws both aspiring monks and learned scholars. The age span ranges from 8 to 60 and above.
