Seralung
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone! 🙏🙏🙏
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

The Seralung (Hailstone Valley) monastery was rebuilt in 1984 by the Drigung Kagyu monastery. It is located on the right side of a small valley near a spring. The original monastery, further up the valley to the east, was home to close to one hundred monks before it was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. The main images of the Seralung monastery are Guru Rinpoche and Sakyamuni. Seralung, along with the Selung and Gyandruk monasteries near Mt. Kailash, is a branch of the Drigungtil Monastery east of Lhasa.
