By the end of the 1930s under the Communist regime, virtually every structure associated with Mongolian Buddhism had been looted for valuables and then demolished. Since independence in 1990, Mongolian Buddhists have had to literally begin building from the ground up. Part of the revival of Mongolian Buddhism depends upon temples, urban centers, monastic quarters, meditation retreat facilities, libraries, stupas, and the restoration of sacred places of pilgrimage.
The MBRP will contribute funds and assist in grant solicitation for restoration and new building projects. Would you like to be a vital part of this? Make a secure online donation here.
Ruins and very modest rebuilding at Hogan Tarna monastery, in the foothills of the Hogan Khan mountains, Arkhangai, Mongolia. This strongly Nyingma monastery once housed 800 monks.
Small temple rebuilt at Khan Bayan Zurkh Mountain, sacred to Jamyn Danzan, the Third Dharma Lord of the Gobi. Before 1938, this was a thriving retreat center.
