Drepung Monastery : about 8km west of central Lhasa is the Drepung (Zhebang Si), once world's largest monastery with a floor space of more than 200 000 square meters and about 10 000 monks. It was founded in 1416 by a disciple of Tsong Khapa and later enlarged by the Fifth Dalai Lama. Many high and learned lamas had studied here.
