[edit] I don't get this

"The late Panchen Lama did not leave Tibet and consequently many of the senior lamas from Tashilhunpo Monastery remained inside Tibet. Therefore, while other monasteries-in-exile have expanded and developed under the guidance of senior lamas, Tashilhunpo has remained at a disadvantage, although in 1972 a new campus of Tashilhunpo Monastery was built by Tibetan exiles at a settlement in Bylakuppe, Karnātakā in southern India."

I don't get this section. If the senior lamas from Tashilhunpo remained within Tibet while those from other monasteries fled, doesn't that mean that Tashilhumpo is at a distinct advantage because it does have the guidance of senior lamas whereas other monasteries didn't? --Sumple (Talk) 04:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
