Lhasa Buddhist Check-in | Sera Monastery

| Sera Monastery. Sera Monastery is one of the three major monasteries in Lhasa, and is famous for its unique debate tradition. Every Monday to Saturday afternoon, when the sun shines on every corner of the monastery, the debate field becomes a sea of knowledge. People flock in, and you can see the lively scene of the debate field 200 meters straight from the main entrance. However, it is important to note that cameras are not allowed on site, but you can use your phone to capture the lively atmosphere. Walking along the stone path to the east side of Sera Monastery, you will see the solemn main hall, which enshrines Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug sect.

He guards the peace and tranquility of the monastery, and the devotion of every pilgrim. The architecture and painting art of Sera Monastery complement each other, and every corner tells the profound cultural heritage of the Tibetan region.
