Passage: Pilgrims circumambulate the monastery on the lingkhor  outside the walls. Fortunately, although two-thirds of the buildings were destroyed during the excesses of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, they were mainly the residences for the 4,000 monks and the monastery itself was not as extensively damaged as most other religious structures in Tibet, for it was the seat of the Panchen Lama who remained in Chinese-controlled territory. However, during 1966 Red Guards led a crowd to break statues, burn scriptures and open the stupas containing the relics of the 5th to 9th Panchen Lamas, and throw them in the river. Some remains, though, were saved by locals, and in 1985, Choekyi Gyaltsen, 10th Panchen Lama, began the construction of a new stupa to house them and honour his predecessors. It was finally consecrated on 22 January 1989, just six days before he died aged fifty-one at Tashi Lhunpo. "It was as if he was saying now he could rest.".
How many percent of buildings were not destroyed during the Chinese Cultural Revolution? How many years after the Red Guards opened stupas and desctroyed relics did the new stupa open? How many years after the construction of a new stupa began by Choekyi Gyaltsen was the building consecrated? How many years was it between the REd Guards leading a crowd to open stupas containing relics of 5th to 9th Panchen Lamas and the 10th Panchen Lama beginning construction on a new stupa? How many years was it between the construction of the new stupa began and when it ws consecrated? In what year was Choekyi Gyaltsen born? On what date did Choekyi Gyaltsen, 10th Panchen Lama pass away? On what dday did Cheokyi Gyaltsen die? What happened first: construction of a new stupa or consecration of relics of Lamas? What happened second: construction of a new stupa or consecration of relics of Lamas? What year was Choekyi Gyaltsen born in? Why was the monastary in Tibet not damaged as badly as the majority of other religious structures?
