Historical development

The college was formerly known as Larung Monastery Wuming Buddhist College. In 1880, Dejang Dorje built a "Rizhui" (practice place) for the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. In the 1980s, Jigme Phuntsok, a monk from the Nyingma sect, expanded the practice site and established a small lecture hall and a Zen retreat. There were 32 students at that time, and Jigme Phuntsok served as Khenpo.

In May 1985, the Larung Gar Sutra Study Point was formed. By 1993, the number of students at the study point had increased to more than 2,000, and there were 54 sutra teachers. In 1997, Larung Gar Wuming Buddhist College was established. In the late 1990s, the scale gradually expanded, the number of personnel increased rapidly, and there were great hidden dangers in geology, fire protection, sanitation, and public security.

In 2013, Luoruo Township, where the college is located, was abolished and Luoruo Town was established. Larung Gar Wuming Buddhist College was included in the overall planning and construction of the work of dismantling the township and establishing a town. Clean up illegal activities, standardize management, and create an environment with orderly management, complete functions, and suitable learning environment.
