Well, I think that [[shedra]] has the inference of 'institute' and 'practice center' pretty well wrapped up, so if all agree, perhaps we can dub [[Drubdra]] with the 'retreat center' def.? Ideas from others? | |||

I would suggest something other than "practice center" as a translation, something that spells it out a bit more. Many Buddhist centers in the West would colloquially be referred to as practice centers, but they wouldn't be called sgrub grva-s, which seems only to refer to three-year retreat centers. | I would suggest something other than "practice center" as a translation, something that spells it out a bit more.
