Description
Summary:	This study explores the system of education in the Tibetan settlement in Bylakuppe, Karnataka, in southern India. Two prominent monasteries in the settlement are Sera Mey and Sera Jey, each attached to a school. Sera Mey was particularly well suited for the study because of the comprehensiveness of its school (grades 1-12). The focus is on the recent reforms in monastic education for the promotion of science education in the schools affiliated with monasteries and the initiatives by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to infuse the teaching of science with Buddhist principles.
