A GLIMPSE INTO TANGO SHEDRA

The Tango dzong in Thimphu was first built in 1689. It is today better known as one of Bhutan’s premier Buddhist institutions – the Tango Thorim Shedra – established in 1987.

This important institution offers a nine-year masters degree course in Buddhist philosophy. After completing their studies, the monks continue with a three-year meditation retreat in the neighbouring Cheri monastery.
