Just outside Lhasa, you can find Drepung monastery. Once the largest monastery of the world, it survived the last decades relatively well and has a small village atmosphere.
With only several hundred monks residing in Drepung now, the importance of the colleges has dwindled, although some have been re-established in India. While I walked further on to the main assembly hall, I felt like walking in a small village inhabited by monks - although the monastery is obivously not as busy as it used to be before the invasion, it does not give the impression of being almost abandoned and can appear lively in some parts. In the main assembly hall, I attended a prayer session - impressive enough, with the red-robed monks sitting under high thangkas, their yellow hats on their shoulders. From the roof, the view was perhaps even better - not just of the monks sitting in prayer on the ground floor, but also of the rest of the monastery.
