Sera Mey Monastery
Sera Mey Monastery is a prominent Mahayana Buddhist monastery located in Bylakuppe, India. Established in 1970 in South India,
Sera is known for its comprehensive Gelugpa study program, which includes philosophy, debate, and meditation.
Visitors can witness the daily activities of the monks, and attend teachings, pujas, and debates. The monastery also organizes various cultural events throughout the year.
"My trip to Sera was a highly transformative experience indeed. I consider myself wildly fortunate to have had an opportunity to live and study along side students who are still practicing in line with an unbroken stream of tradition that goes back millennia. My connection to the masters in that place and future masters still learning there, has been a food to nurture my studies and personal development that has stayed with me for the many years since my visits. It is an extraordinary place with extraordinary humans whose whole lives are devoted to the development and preservation of wisdom. I have been deeply blessed by my exposure to them."
