Sakya Monastery — Tibet

Sakya Monastery — Tibet

Nestled on a hill, the Sakya Monastery is the seat of the Sakya sect, one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, and an oasis of knowledge sitting in the middle of barren mountains and surrounded by scattered villages some 150 km from Shigatse, the second largest city in Tibet.

Tucked away behind a massive wall in the historic Sakya Monastery of Tibet lies a hidden library that has captivated the world's imagination. This library, a veritable time capsule of ancient wisdom, contains 84,000 secret manuscripts that span over a millennium of human history.
