Lobdras are centers of Buddhist education where monks and lay practitioners receive foundational teachings in Buddhist philosophy, rituals, and spiritual practices. Unlike Shedras, which offer advanced studies, Lobdras focus on basic religious training and the practical aspects of Buddhist life. They play a crucial role in nurturing spiritual growth and ensuring the continuity of Bhutanese Buddhist traditions. Lobdras are an integral part of the Dratshang Lhentshog, contributing to the religious and cultural fabric of the community.
