The Namgyal Monastery in Mcleodganj, the largest Tibetan temple outside of Tibet, is thought to be the place where the Dalai Lama, the head of the Tibetan people, resides. Even people who are not inclined towards this faith can be drawn in by the atmosphere and serenity that this location fosters in the minds of its guests. The Namgyal Monastery is often referred to as Dalai Lama's Temple as it is the personal monastery of the 14th Dalai Lama.
The second Dalai Lama established Namgyal Monastery in the 16th century, intending for the monks to assist him in religious matters. The monks who live here at the monastery engage in practices that benefit Tibet and collaborate as a group.
It also goes by the name Namgyal Tantric College, and it is today home to 200 monks who endeavor to preserve the customs, techniques, and practices of the monastery. The study of Buddhism encompasses the study of the languages Tibetan and English, literature from the Sutra and Tantra, Buddhist philosophy, sand mandalas, ritual chanting, and dances.
