Gyümé Dratsang (rgyud smad grwa tshang) is one of the two Gelukpa (dge lugs pa) tantra colleges in Lhasa. Gyümé was founded in 1433 by Tsongkhapa's (tsong kha pa) disciple Sherap Senggé (shes rab seng+ge, 1383-1445). The original site of Gyümé is not known. In the 1720s it was moved to its present location (on the northeast side of old Lhasa, next to the Meru Dratsang (rme ru grwa tshang)) by the chief minister of the Tibetan government at the time, Khangchenné Sönam Gyelpo (khang chen nas bsod nams rgyal po, d. 1727). The college used to house over five hundred monks. Gyümé was closed in 1959 and the buildings were converted to public housing. In the late 1980s the college reopened and around fifty monks are in residence.
