Laji

laji; At the top of the pyramid a group called the `laji' oversees the entire monastery. This committee includes all `dratsang khenpos' and is presided over by the Abbot.

Under the `laji' are several monk officials who manage the monastery's manors, property (for instance, Sera Monastery owns three counties nearby, and the huge land of Mongolian 39 tribes in the Northern Xizang (Tibet) which in 1914 after the collapse of Qing Dynasty are conquered by the Xizang (Tibet) government with two brigade soldiers) and financial affairs.
