Cultural Heritage
The establishment of Sera Monastery in 1419 CE by Jamchen Chojey Sakya Yeshe, a direct disciple of the revered Tsongkhapa, marked a pivotal moment in the consolidation of the Gelug school's influence across central Tibet. Far from being merely a monastic complex, Sera evolved into a sophisticated scholastic institution, notably divided into the distinct colleges of Sera Je and Sera Me. Each college cultivated specialized curricula, with Sera Je particularly renowned for its rigorous philosophical studies rooted in the great Indian Buddhist treatises, attracting a vast confluence of scholars from diverse Himalayan regions and even Mongolia, thereby extending its intellectual dominion. By the early 20th century, Sera Monastery had burgeoned into one of the largest monastic universities globally, housing over 5,000 monks and serving as a crucial training ground for many high-ranking lamas and regents who shaped Tibetan political and religious life. However, this venerable tradition faced an unprecedented rupture during the 1959 Tibetan Uprising. The monastery endured severe damage, with countless precious scriptures and sacred artifacts either destroyed or looted, and many monks tragically lost their lives, marking a profound historical discontinuity in its centuries-long legacy of uninterrupted scholarship and spiritual cultivation.
