With 8500 Tulkus, Geshes, Masters and monks keeping the lineage alive, Shar Gaden is located in Mundgod South India. It is next to Gaden Monastery and 25 minutes away from Drepung Monastery.

H.H the Dalai Lama decreed that all Dorje Shugden practitioners must separate from the other monasteries and not associate with non-Dorje Shugden practitioners in any way. As a result many Tulkus, Geshes, senior practitioners and monks had no choice but to sadly leave their respective monasteries out of respect for His Holiness Dalai Lama’s instruction. These monks came together and established Shar Gaden Monastery. This monastery was not formed to counter or oppose H.H. the Dalai Lama in anyway, but for the monks to have the freedom to practice as instructed by their root Gurus.

H.H. Kyabje Trijang Choktrul Rinpoche’s Ladrang has also joined Shar Gaden leaving Gaden Shartse Monastery, where his line of incarnations have been for hundreds of years. Domo Geshe Rinpoche also has joined.

This video shows Shar Gaden Monastery today, alive with practice, debates, pujas, torgyas, and teachings. They have been ostracized by the whole Tibetan community who are not allowed to have ANY ASSOCIATION WITH THEM. We need to give them our support now to keep the lineage alive for future generations. Share this video with others. Shar Gaden’s existence is hope, strength, light and practice exemplified. Its continuation offers us great encouragement.

Shar Gaden's Sangha are highly knowledgeable and skilled in performing many types of beneficial pujas such as Tara, Medicine Buddha, Dorje Shugden’s various rituals, pujas, fire offerings, mandalas, Heart Sutra, Pelden Lhamo, Namse, Kalarupa, Mahakalas, etc. Lay people can support the monastery by requesting the Sangha to conduct pujas for them. For example, you could sponsor a puja to be done for a birthday,anniversary, death, marriage, special events, or just to clear obstacles for whatever plans you may have.

Do contact, support, visit and do whatever you can for our Sangha who wishes to practice their lineage as it has been done for 350 years now. It is the least we can do to help safeguard this holy lineage which is going through obstacles at this time but will shine forth bright in the future as predicted.
