dPal-spungs monastery in Eastern Tibet was a place where monks could train in fields as diverse as meditation, ritual, textual studies and medicine. In this book, dPal-spungs will be looked at as a structure that enabled education, with its various necessary substructures, e. g. buildings and time schedules. Additional factors contributing to monastic learning were for instance the charisma of Buddhist teachers, pedagogical strategies, and the system of punishments. The findings serve as a basis for comparison of education in Tibetan Buddhist and in medieval Cistercian monastic institutions.

Gabriele Coura is a Lecturer at the Department of South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies of the University of Vienna. Her research focuses on the cultural, religious, and social history of Tibet.
