Drepung Gomang Washul Metsen
Washul Metsen belongs to Hardong Khangsten, one of the sixteen khangtsens (regional houses) of the Drepung Gomang Monastery. It is associated with Khunkhen Jamyang Shepa, the owner of the Gomang texts. Washul Metsen has produced and continues to produce many learned and accomplished masters who have thoroughly studied both sutra and tantra traditions. The primary source of monks for this unit comes from the Kham region. When great changes swept across all of Tibet, a group of monks arrived together at the baksa in exile.
His Holiness' Visit
A glimpse of the auspicious celebration held in December 2002 to mark the completion of a newly constructed building, including the monastery. With great joy, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama graced the occasion with his presence and kindly inaugurated the premises, offering prayers and blessings.
