Sherabling is the seat of Tai Situ Rinpoche, a renowned Buddhist monk of the Karma Kagyu sect.
He was responsible for the selection of the sect's spiritual leader, the 17th Karmapa, who fled Tibet three years ago.
The monastery is about 60 kilometres (37 miles) from Dharamsala, which has been the seat of the Tibetan government in exile for more than four decades.
The Dalai Lama and thousands of his followers fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against the Chinese.
