Gyume (Lower Tantric College) is one of the two main Tantric orders within the
Gelug school of
Tibetan Buddhism, the other being
Gyuto. It was founded in Lhasa in 1440 by one of Jé Tsongkhapa's students, Sherab Senge (1383-1445). Tibetan Buddhist monks chant in a seeming monotone that is rich in overtones. The chants are usually Buddhist scriptures chanted in
Tibetan or Pali.
