drepung monastery, outside lhasa


we visited this monastery on a hillside overlooking the valley in which lhasa is located early in the trip. its numbers much diminished compared to the days of its flourishing before the commmunist chinese invasion in 1959, drepung still struggles to educate its monks... this marvelous photo was taken inside one of the assembly halls by christian luczanits...
