Another place to learn and practise Buddhism in Gaya is the Royal Bhutan Monastery, which is also considered as one of the most magnificent monasteries in the region. The King of Bhutan got this monastery constructed as a tribute to Lord Buddha. This monastery will surely impress you with its splendid architecture, serenity and the seven feet tall statue of Buddha inside. What add to the fame of this monastery are the clay carvings depicting Lord Buddha’s life. Buddhism followers from across the globe visit here to witness these brilliant carvings. Bhutanese monks living in this monastery organise peace prayers and also conduct courses on Buddhism and guide people accordingly.
