Monastery of Spinjitzu

The Monastery of Spinjitzu was a small structure built atop one of the Mountains of Impossible Height, seen in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. It originally served as the home of the First Spinjitzu Master and he raised Garmadon and Wu within its protective walls. After he passed, Wu and Garmadon inherited the monastery, and Wu trained his young student Morro there for a short while. The Monastry served as the staging ground for the battle between brothers that ended with Garmadon's banishment to the Underworld. Eventually, it became the headquarters for the Ninja until it was burned down by the Hypnobrai tribe.

Geography
The Monastery was built atop the tallest of the Mountains of Impossible Height. With the only means of accessing it being a winding set of stairs carved out of the mountain, reaching it was an incredibly tedious venture, especially for the Postman who had to scale it daily.

The monastery is hexagonal in shape with the main building making up the back three sides. A tall white wall with red highlights and black shingle roofing protected the other three sides with a heavy wooded door carved out of the center one. Between the wall and the build was a large courtyard the held a retractable training course that which would be activated using a secret button in a dragon statue by the main gate.

The living area of the monastery contained at least six room; a bathroom with modern appliances such as a toilet or sink, a television room where the Ninja played video games or watched movies in their free time, a dining room decorated with elaborate paintings, a kitchen containing a modern refrigerator, Wu's personal quarters where he kept the Sacred Flute and often meditated to Spirit Smoke, and a bedroom for the four Ninja.

Carved into the mountain beneath the Monastery were pens where the Ninja kept their Dragons.

Tick Tock (Flashback)
One day when Wu and Garmadon were young, they were sparring using their father's katanas in the courtyard. During the fight, Garmadon disarmed his brother and sent the katana flying over the wall. Fearing what lay outside, the younger brother refused to retrieve it, so Garmadon went himself. It was there that he was bitten by the Great Devourer and infected with evil. The First Spinjitzu Master eventually found him, though was unable to cure his son.

Way of the Ninja
Sensei Wu took Kai to the monastery to train him in the ways of the ninja. After several days of failure on the training course, Kai succeeded in mastering it. That night while Kai was preparing for bed inside the monastery's bathroom, Cole, Jay, and Zane snuck in and confronted him.

The Golden Weapon
The four's fight took them out into the courtyard where Kai activated the training course to use to his advantage. Their fight was eventually stopped by Wu, and after the sensei explained their objective, they all left in search of the first weapon.

Rise of the Snakes
With Ninjago in an era of peace, the Ninja chose to play video games instead of train, even though Wu attempted to inspire them to unlock their True Potential. This made them ill equipped for when Nya arrived with news that Garmadon had returned and they were sent fumbling around when attempting to go after him.

While the Ninja were gone, Nya used the time to practice on the training course, though was forced to give it up when the Ninja returned and intended to hold a Green Ninja tournament in the courtyard.
