Chinesische Akademie der Tibetischen Sprache für Höhere Buddhistische Studien

The Chinese Academy of Tibetan Language for Higher Buddhist Studies is an educational institution within a temple complex focused on advanced religious training for monks and scholars. The center provides specialized programs in Tibetan language and Buddhist philosophy while combining traditional monastic education with contemporary academic methods.

The institute was established in 1987, marking a turning point in modern Buddhist education in China. Its founding opened new possibilities for formal teaching and research of Tibetan texts and religious studies.

The institute brings together monks and scholars from western regions of China who study and work together within its halls. It serves as a meeting point for different Buddhist traditions to exchange knowledge and learn from one another.

Visiting requires attention to the rules of the religious site and respect for the people who live and study there. It helps to arrive early in the day to experience the most activity and movement within the halls.

The institute plays a special role as a center for preserving Tibetan language knowledge among monastic communities across several Chinese provinces. Its work helps ensure that ancient Buddhist teachings and texts continue to be passed down rather than fade away.
