Drepung Monastery Project Overview

The Drepung Project aims to document the largest monastery in the history of Tibet with maps, essays, images and video. The Drepung Project is a collaborative venture between Williams College (the hosting institution), the Tibet Academy of Social Sciences (TASS), the University of Virginia, Charlottesville (UVA), and of course the monks of Drepung. It is directed by Georges Dreyfus.

Given the scope of the project, as you might imagine, it is a long-term labor that is still in its infancy. In the months and years to come you will see new material added to the website. We urge you, therefore, to come visit us again. We also invite scholars with a research interest in Drepung to make submissions to the project. And, needless to say, we welcome feedback from any and all users of the Drepung Project website.
