Nalanda University
Nalanda University – It was built by 9th Je Khenpo Shakya Rinchen, considered to be a reincarnation of Rechung Dorji Drakpa in 1757. It is located below Talo monastery in Punakha. Eventually, the uncle of His Majesty, the Fourth King, Jigme Singye Wangchuk, Dorji Lopen Yoenten Gyaltsen, requested permission from the King to open an official Buddhist shedra. In 1991, His Majesty gave permission for Nalanda Monastery to become a shedra and in 1992, two lopens (teachers) opened the shedra with 20 monks. Over time, the number of lopens and students has increased. As of 2014, there are 6 lopens and 125 students who range from 8 to 28 years of age.
