Tashi Lhapug Monastery constructed a new hall of philosophic studies with assistance from Gaden Relief. The hall became a place of intense study and debate in Buddhist philosophy for the monks of Tashi Lhapug.
Tashi Lhapug dates back to the time of the Fifth Dalai Lama, five centuries ago. Literally at the end of a dirt road, there is no one for miles around, except for a few nomads in the summer. Just procuring construction materials is a slow and arduous process, and in winter, the road is impassable for months.


Using mostly local materials the hall is being built in the traditional Tibetan design. When completed, the monks will be able to pursue their studies in complete peace, free of distraction.
