Project 01
Changchub

Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern
Knowledge
Imagine a space where centuries-old Buddhist scriptures sit alongside the latest textbooks in

unfold in another.
This revolutionary academic wing will transform how our nuns learn, preparing them to
navigate both timeless Buddhist truths and modern world challenges.

(Protector Shrine) Restoration
Preserving 332 Years of Sacred Art
and Heritage
Our Gonkhang is a living repository of spiritual power and cultural memory. Built on the site
where Mahasiddha Hari meditated in the 15th century and blessed by His Holiness the 5th
Dalai Lama.
This sacred shrine houses ancient statues of Chakrasamvara, Hevajra, four-armed Mahakala, the
lion-faced Dakini, and the magnificent thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara.
