About Ösel Ling Monastery

More than 100 monks from Nepal and Tibet are educated here by Khenpos (teachers) who are widely versed in many aspects of Tibetan Buddhism. Daily classes are given in many subjects, such as Tibetan, Nepali and English language, history and calligraphy. The monks are also well trained in philosophy, debate and traditional ritual practice. Many of the monks come from Nubri and Mustang, remote and poor areas of northern Nepal.

In previous years Rinpoche taught frequent seminars and courses at Osel Ling, attracting students from around the world.  He responded to their interest by establishing the International Buddhist Meditation Center (IBMC), which currently has 8-12 rooms and provides students with the opportunity for short or long term retreats.
