Dolphin says he will no longer post. Dolphin's gokunming posting behaviour was better than that of most of those who responded to him. He complained of personal attacks in his last(?) post.

I was there in 2014 by myself on an ordinary day, but there were other tourists, and saw the same - impressive, but if it's every day I wonder whether tourism doesn't have something to do with it, Or maybe they do debates daily as part of monastic training?
Anyway, it really looks like it was a great trip!
