Caption: Shigatse, TAR, China - Jul 2001. Monks felt boots outside a prayer room at Tashilhumpo Monastery in Shigatse, inner Tibet.

Despite the Panchen Lama living in exile, Tashilumpho continues to function as a monastery and centre for scholarly disciplines, however not to the extent that it did before Chinese occupation of Tibet in the early 1950's.
