Seda Monastery: The World's largest Tibetan Buddhist
school
28 Apr, 2013
Buddhist nuns and monks walking through Seda Monastery,
the largest Tibetan Buddhist school in the world, with up
to 40,000 monks and nuns in residence for some parts of
the year. Seda, known to Tibetans as Serthar is located
in Ganzi prefecture in the west of China's Sichuan
province and has become a hotbed of protests and violence
since the Tibetan uprisings of March 2008.
More than 110 Tibetans have set themselves alight since
2009, with most dying of their injuries, in
demonstrations against what they view as Chinese
oppression which Beijing rejects pointing to substantial
investment in Tibet and other regions with large Tibetan
populations, although critics say economic development
has brought an influx of ethnic Han Chinese and eroded
traditional Tibetan culture.
