Legend of Karma Thubten

Monasteries provide the best environment for the study and practice of the Buddha’s teaching. The main emphasis is on developing the mind by studying philosophy, debate, and Lam Rim, the graded path to enlightenment. Seeing the
importance of general knowledge for the monks in this modern world, Geshe Karma Thubten, the first Monastery school principal of the new
Monastery school, set up a curriculum that was more in tune with the modern world and integrated monastic principles. Following the Universal Education principles set out by Karma Thubten Rinpoche,

a curriculum combining the Nepalese School syllabus and Universal Education was developed. The general school education runs concurrent with the intense philosophical study program. High quality education is must in a modern society, but establishing and maintaining this high quality level poses a great challenge to the resources of the monastery.
More qualified teachers are needed.
Competitive wages and extras, such a travel allowance, free food and paid holidays will attract more qualified & motivated teachers. Access to modern educational resources, teaching material and books need to be introduced.

Sang Chöling Monastery was founded in 1681 A.D at Phulasi by Lama Karma Thupten and again renovated in 1983 A.D by his generation in the tradition of Karma chyosang. A respected meditation master in the tradition of the Kagyu Lineage, Lama Karma Thupthen personally guides this active Dharma community, providing opportunities for students all levels. In addition to a daily schedule of practice, study and work, the monastery offers weekend seminars taught by Lama Karma Thupthen and courses led by visiting Lamas.

The goal is to offer good education on all levels to all the monks who have dedicated their lives to the study and correct understanding of the Buddha Dharma. We need more qualified teachers for different subjects, including philosophy studies. We need your help.
