Album Info:
All the 5,500 monks of the Sera Monastery study in Kamcuns and Myicuns under various Zhacangs (Buddhist colleges). The three Zhacangs of the monastery boast a total of 32 Kamcuns, with the Gyi Zhacang having 17, exceeding the two others. Like their counterparts in the Gandain and Zhaibung monasteries, monk students here are required to complete the study of the five volumes of Buddhist classics, as required by the Gelug Sect.It takes them 22-24 years to study these classics.. Those who pass the sutra doctrine debate held once a year during the Grand Summons Ceremony in Lhasa are honored as the Lharaba Geshi and receive the highest Buddhist degree. This qualifies them to further their study in the Lower Tantric College.
