Buddhism was declared Mongolia's national
religion in the 13th century and has been
widespread since the 1600s. By 1900, the re were
583 monasteries and temples and a trip around
some of them can be considered the perfect
introduction to Tibetan Buddhism.Among the
wonderful monasteries on this tour is Erdene Zuu,
built in the 1580s on the site of the ancient
imperial capital. One of the oldest monasteries
in Mongolia, in its prime there were 10,000 lamas
in residence and nearly 60 temples. By the end of
the Stalinist purges in the 1930s, however, all
but 4 of these temples had been destroyed. You
will see the lamas chanting and receive Buddhist
empowerments as well as having the opportunity to
view the temple's museum complex.
