History
The Gyuto Tantric Monastery was originally established in Tibet in 1475. It is dedicated to the study and practice of Tantric teachings, a specialized branch of Tibetan Buddhism. Following the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959, the monastery was re-established in India by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The current location in Sidhbari, near Dharamsala in Kangra, was chosen to continue the preservation and propagation of the Gyuto tradition. The monastery has since become a prominent center for Tantric studies, attracting monks and scholars from around the world. It is also known for its unique chanting style, characterized by deep, resonant voices that create a powerful and transformative experience. The monastery plays a vital role in preserving Tibetan culture and providing spiritual guidance to the community.
