Prayers begin as early as 6 o'clock in the morning at Drepung Monastery. The day's activities include six such prayers and a traditional Sutra debate. Believers paying their tribute to Buddha can listen to the prayers for as long as they want, and many make donations to show their sincerity and to make a wish for the future.
