Talk:Drepung Monastery

message: Can somebody clarify: does it have several hundred or several thousand monks today?
:This depends on the distinction between the site, and the institution - the original site in Tibet hosts several hundred (capped at 300 or so by the Chinese government) monks, whereas the relocated institution in India has several thousand monks resident. (20040302)
:This also depends on which monastery you are talking about. There are two monasteries - one in Tibet, the other in India. Prowikipedians (talk) 12:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have read it. Which page there declares that the institutions are distinct?  Locality is not an identifier for institutions - eg there are some Drepung buildings in Delhi. (20040302 (talk) 12:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarification

message: * "The second head of the Dge-lugs-pa order, Dge-’dun-rgya-mtsho (1475–1542), became the head abbot of the ’Bras-spungs (Drepung) monastery on the outskirts of Lhasa, which thenceforward was the principal seat of the Dalai Lama."
* "Sonam Gyatso became, in the same moment, both the First and the Third Dalai Lama. The title was bestowed on him by the Mongolian ruler Altan Khan in 1578 when Sonam Gyatso, the most revered and scholarly monk of the Drepung monastery in Tibet, converted Altan Khan to the Geluk tradition of Buddhism."
* "• 16th century Mongol tribes migrate into northern Tibet. In 1578, Altan Khan, ruler of the Tumed Mongols, invites Sonam Gyatso, third incarnation of the abbot of Drepung, the main Gelukpa monastery, to his court. Khan bestows upon Gyatso the Mongolian title of "Dalai Lama" ("Ocean of Wisdom"). The title is also given posthumously to two abbots of Drepung monastery, thus Sonam Gyatso is actually the third to be so named. The title is hereditary and the fourth Dalai Lama is a grandson of Altan Khan, who, with his followers, converts to the Gelukpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. The Dalai Lama acts as the spiritual and temporal ruler of Tibet from this period, until the onset of Chinese rule in the twentieth century."

"In 1576, Altan Khan (1507-1583) of the Tumed Mongols invited the future Third Dalai Lama, Sonam-gyatso, to bring Buddhism to Mongolia. At that time, Sonam-gyatso, was known as the Gyelwa Rinpoche (rGyal-ba Rin-po-che) or the Drepung Tulku (‘Bras-spungs sPrul-sku), the third incarnation in the first line of incarnate lamas in the Gelug tradition."

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Drepung Monastery's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
