Talk:Tashi Lhunpo Monastery

I don't get this
"The late Panchen Lama did not leave Tibet and consequently many of the senior lamas from Tashilhunpo Monastery remained inside Tibet. Therefore, while other monasteries-in-exile have expanded and developed under the guidance of senior lamas, Tashilhunpo has remained at a disadvantage, although in 1972 a new campus of Tashilhunpo Monastery was built by Tibetan exiles at a settlement in Bylakuppe, Karnātakā in southern India."

I don't get this section. If the senior lamas from Tashilhunpo remained within Tibet while those from other monasteries fled, doesn't that mean that Tashilhumpo is at a distinct advantage because it does have the guidance of senior lamas whereas other monasteries didn't? --Sumple (Talk) 04:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, two things. The article specifies monasteries-in-exile. The wellbeing of the campus of the monastery of India doesn't necessarily follow the same curve as does that of the one in Tibet. Second, this passage doesn't mention it, but the senior lams from Tashilhunpo Monastery remained inside Tibet in 1959 and then they were purged along with the 10th Panchen Lama in 1964. A lot of them were imprisoned and they were all forced to leave the monastery. So, no, neither branch of Tashilhunpo ended up benefitting from the senior lamas.&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 02:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

The model of this monastery in China
Tibetan sources describing the Panchen Lama's visit to the Qinglong emperor in 1780 speak of a model (Zheho Trashi Lhünpo (Shakabpa 2010 pp.497, p.500 = the Tashilhunpo at Jehol (Chinese Chéngdé 承德) near Beijing of this monastery. I presume the reference is to one of the buildings at Qinglong's summer retreat Nishidani (talk) 10:55, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

more clarification needed.
"but the rooms are more modest and humane" If anyone who has been to this place could provide further clarification, I beleive it would be helpful. This appears to be a mistranslation, or a cultural difference. "Modest", in English, implies a simple way of life, (spartan). Humane means "having or showing compassion or benevolence." in western culture, these are nearly opposite words. Well, maybe not opposite words, but, it would be highly unusual to use them to describe the same sleeping place. When the article mentions being "/more/modest and humane" (emphasise added) what are the other sleeping quarters like that are neither modest (which implies luxurious) but are also not humane?

Clarification needed.
