Yes. The Low-Residency Program offers the flexibility to study remotely while participating in seasonal retreats for direct practice and assessment. Students engage through live seminars, guided readings, and mentoring from resident monastics. This model ensures that distance learners remain connected to the heart of the monastery.
Community life at Giao Long Monastery is guided by mindfulness, compassion, and shared purpose. Students meditate together each morning, study during the day, and join evening service projects—from environmental cleanups to outreach in local shelters. Under the guidance of Rinpoche-la, Geshe-la, and Khenpo-la, daily life becomes both spiritual discipline and joyful companionship. It is a life of simplicity, meaning, and awakening.
