This beautiful historical video showcases what the life of monks was like during the early days in Ganden Shartse Monastery, circa 1985. The video features Khensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche, as well as footage of monks studying and senior monks making tormas in Zong Labrang.

It was from Ganden Shartse that Shar Gaden Monastery later arose on 23 February 2008, primarily from the members of Dokhang Khamtsen. Shar Gaden continues to grow day by day under the leadership of the Abbot Ven. Geshe Lobsang Phende, and with more than 750 monks living in-house, working, studying and upholding the lineage of Dorje Shugden.
