Tantric College; 密院;
Gyume and Gyuto are the two main Gelug tantric monasteries.
Gyume, also known as Lower Tantric College (རྒྱུད་སྨད), was founded by Gyu Sherab Senge in Lower Central Tibet in 1433.
In 1475, Jetsun Kunga Dhondub established Gyuto, (རྒྱུད་སྟོད Upper Tantric College), located near Ramoche Temple in Lhasa.
The birth place of the student monks normally determines which college they enter. For example, Mongolians and Ladakhis normally go to Gyume.
Currently, Gyume has relocated in India at Hunsur, Karnataka. Gyuto has relocated to Sidhbari, near Dharamsala, India.
