An Emory student activist group watches the proceedings. Atlanta is the North American seat of the Drepung Loseling Monastery. The monastery itself has a long history: Founded in 1416 in Tibet, it was devastated after the Chinese communist invasion in 1959. A number of monks escaped to India, where the international headquarters are today. There has been an Atlanta location since 1991, and their mission is to help preserve Tibetan culture through education. They offer workshops, classes and retreats on language, meditation, philosophy and practice.
