Kham 3 Volume Monastery Survey Template

Contributor(s): David Divalerio, David Germano, Tsering Gyurme.

We want to make this trilingual (Tibetan, English, Chinese), and also add a sentence to paragraph to clearly specify what each item means. Also specify in what survey they have been used, and give page references to show examples. Thus best to make each item a new WIKI page for the explanation.
