Preserving the Sakya Tibetan Buddhist Heritage for future generations
Jaigaon Construction Update
Great progress is being made! Sakya Thegchen Phuntsok Ling, which means “the Sanctuary for the Mahayana Teachings of Sakya to be Abundant” in Tibetan, will follow the curriculum of teachings established by the Khön dynasty in Sakya’s headquarters in Tibet, Lhakhang Chenmo.
The main building, with 11600 m2 building area, is a 5 floored comprehensive structure with shrine halls, classrooms, library, auditoriums, dormitory, dining hall, etc. Please click an image to view full size.
