Can somebody clarify: does it have several hundred or several thousand monks today?
ah .. But is it one instituition in two locations, or two separate institutions and do you have any RS to show for that?! ( 20040302 ( talk) 21:47, 11 June 2008 (UTC))
One reads that Drepung had historically a major influence on the Tibetan government, which took few important steps without consulting this monastery along with Gaden and Sera monasteries. Shouldn't there be something in the article about the considerable political power exercised by this institution in the past? Tom 129.93.17.196 23:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
"Each college has an abbot who is responsible for the teaching, studying, and practice there. There is also a general abbot or throne-holder for the entire monastery, the lineage for which has come from Jamyang Chojey. In later times, the custom has been that the eldest retired abbot of the individual colleges assumes the position of the throne-holder of the entire monastery.
The first of the line of Dalai Lamas, Gyelwa Gendun-drub (rGyal-ba Ge-’dun grub) received many sutra and tantra teachings at Drepung from Tsongkhapa. Later, [near Zhigatsey (gZhi-ga-rtse, Shigatse) in Tsang (gTsang) province,] he founded Tashilhunpo Monastery (bKra-shis lhun-po dGon-pa). It is the fourth largest monastery in Central Tibet. [The other three, including Drepung, are in U (dBus) province.] Each of the next Dalai Lamas, from the second through the fifth, not only held the position of the Throne-holder of Drepung, but also made Drepung his permanent residence."
According to link no.3 Sonam Gyatso was the third incarnation of the abbot of Drepung. When he received the title of Dalai Lama his two predecessors as Throne-Holders of Drepung were given the title of Dalai Lama, too. That's what I have understood until now.
The monastery contained three different college places, as far as I understand this information.

The last one refers to [7], Sonam Yeshe Wangpo (1556-92).
On this site, according to the links given here, it is said:

"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."
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.
