Responsibility of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery

Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in exile in Bylakuppe, Karnataka, South India, bears the responsibility of preserving the seat of the Panchen Lama selected by the Dalai Lama, should he, like the Dalai Lama and the Karmapa, someday succeed in fleeing Tibet, or should he reincarnate outside of Tibet in the future. Because the previous Panchen Lama, the 10th, did not flee Tibet at the time of the Chinese invasion, few of the followers of his lineage emigrated to India. For this reason Tashi Lhunpo in exile is much smaller than most of the re-established great Tibetan monastic universities that have been developed by the monks who fled when the Dalai Lama fled Tibet. Each of these universities has a slightly different focus and tradition, much as great Western universities do.
