EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Although there are many programs at Gaden Shartse, preservation and development of Tibetan education and culture remains first priority. No restrictions are ever placed on the students due to cast, color, financial status or nationality. The educational programs take between ten to twenty five years to complete. Among Tibetans Gaden Shartse is recognized as one of the finest seats for education on Tibetan culture and Buddhism. It is one of the few active Tibetan monastic centers for Tibetan Cultural and Buddhist studies. Gaden Shartse graduates are now important members of Tibetan community. Many hold responsible positions at the monastery itself, while others are active as writers, professors, teachers, scholars and translators.
