Dratang monastery was founded in 1081 by Drapa Ngonshe, a native of Dranang Valley and one of the 13 saints associated with it. The monastery complex was completed in 1093 by his nephews.
I am so grateful for your deeply respectful videos. My month in Tibet 13 years ago went far too quickly, and I so appreciate your visits to temples and monasteries I was not able to see. Bless you for your focus on art and the devotion of pilgrims across all the regions.
