By far the largest monsatery in Lhasa with 800 resident monks (down from 8000 in its heyday).Photo shows a group of young monks participating in Buddhism quizzes by two elders. Jane and Grace are sitting on steps in background. The monasteries have electricity these days but they still rely on firewood for cooking. Water comes from bored holes. Toilets remain primitive, but the devotees remain totally devout.
