A place worth going: The Tibetian Settlement, Byla Kuppe

One place that probably worth for a second or maybe few more trips is.... Byla Kuppe. A Tibetan settlement located near Mysore ( 2 hours drive); where the Tibetan refugees started their own town in this part of the land--- villages, monasteries, universities, shopping area, temples.


Monks and nuns from Bhutan, Tibet, India for Tibetan studies and practices.

Golden temple, one of the big temple where most tourist will visit. Where the monks and nuns lodge and study here. 

 

In the chanting room. Stacks of scripture wrapped in cloth cover.


At the back wall of the temple. Turning the wheel of Karma.





 
Another University, 4 km ride off the main temple.
Serajay Monastic University, for advanced Buddhist students.


Just ended their 7 days of pooja (ritual). The rice grains will there after the ceremony for 3 days, beforethe place is clean up.
