Tashilumpo monastery is the first to have said to have spy monks. If a guide says something the "spy" monks don't like, the poor guide could loose his license. The even ask for an astronomical fee if you take pictures with your camara, but besides that it is a nice monastery with beautiful statues and lots of shrines.
