Shedra
Shedra is a Tibetan word () meaning "place of teaching" but specifically refers to the educational program in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and nunneries. It is usually attended by monks and nuns between their early teen years and early twenties. Not all young monastics enter a shedra; some study ritual practices instead. Shedra is variously described as a university, monastic college, or philosophy school. The age range of students typically corresponds to both secondary school and college. After completing a shedra, some monks continue with further scholastic training toward a Khenpo or Geshe degree, and other monks pursue training in ritual practices. Curriculum The curriculum varies with the lineage and monastery but most cover the main foundational texts in the Tibetan Buddhist canon, such as the ''Mūlamadhyamakakārikā'' (''The Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way'') by Nagarjuna and the ''Madhyamakāvatāra'' (''Entering the Middle Way'') by Candrakīrti. Some non-Buddhi ...
