life of a Gyuto Monk is a life of practice - of loving kindness
and compassion for the benefit of all. The monks do this by the
practice of the Tantric arts, including harmonic chanting, butter
sculpture and the creation of sand mandalas.
One of the two great
monasteries of the Gelug-pa lineage in Tibetan tantric Buddhism,
Gyuto Tantric University was established by Jetsun Kunga Dhondup
in 1475 and flourished in Lhasa, Tibet, until 1959 when their
famous Ramoche temple was desecrated and the population of 900
monks decimated. |
