What Tsering Art School is known for

Tsering Art School has trained thangka painters in the Karma Gadri lineage since 1996, when Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche founded it in Boudhanath under the Dilgo Khyentse Fellowship. Students complete a six-year course before their finished scrolls are sold to support Shechen Monastery's cultural preservation work.
