Gyudmed Tantric University
website

Gyudmed Tantric Monastery was founded by Jetsun Sherab Sengye, one of the four supreme disciples of Lama Tsongkhapa who was entrusted with the responsibility of the preservation and the promotion of the most sacred lineage of Guhyasamaja Tantra. Based on the personal instructions received from Lama Tsongkhapa, he established Gyudmed Monastery in Central Tibet in 1433. Of the two, Gyudmed Monastery flourished and became the most important seat for the study and practice of Tantric philosophy in Tibet over many centuries. Ganden Tripa or the Throne Holder of Ganden, the figurehead of the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, has to come through this Gyudmed Monastery. The monastery is equivalent to ivy league schools in the USA in Gelugpa tradition.

When His Holiness the Dalai Lama came into exile 1959, around 180 monks from the Gyudmed Monastery followed him to India. They initially established the monastery in a transit camp at Dalhousie in northern India, which was then re-established in Hunsur in Karnataka state in 1972. The unique traditions, such as the sacred chanting, rituals, and other practices, have been continually maintained consistently through the years.
Gyudmed now has around 575 monks and is one of the only two established Gelug lineage centers for studies of Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet. Apart from the studies of the great Guhyasamaja Tantra and its commentaries, this monastery also contains the sacred lineages of chanting rituals, the art of making sand mandalas, butter sculptures, and so on—lineages which have survived intact from Lama Tsongkhapa. Geshes, who have more than twenty years of sutra studies, come to this monastery to do further studies on tantric philosophy and ritual arts. Additionally, whoever holds the seat of the great Ganden Tripa or the Throne Holder of Ganden, the figurehead of the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, has to come through this Gyudmed Monastery. 

Jetsun Sherab Senge
Jetsub Sherab Senge was a direct disciple of the legendary Je Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Jetsun Sherab Sengewas born in 1382 in a small village in the northern part of Tsang, a province of Tibet. ​He was known to have had perfect moral conduct from childhood. After becoming a monk he studied under many eminent teachers the foremost of which being Je Tsongkhapa himself. His mental and spiritual brilliance became renowned and he became known as a Saint. Near the end of Je Tsongkhapa’s life at a mass gathering at Sera Choden, Tsongkhapa asked his students; “Who is willing to create a system in which my teachings could thrive?” Overwhelmed by the enormity of such a task no one answered until finally Jetsun Sherab Senge arose and proclaimed that he would be committed to accomplishing such a task. It was at that point that Je Tsongkhapa appointed Sherab Senge to build the Gyudmed Monastery in Tibet 1433. The monastery is equivalent to ivy league schools in the USA in Gelugpa tradition.
