REFLECTIONS ON THE REVIVAL OF KHÖGSHIN KHÜREE Fig. 15. Third revival of Khögshin khüree, Gundu Yondon Rawjaalin. S. Byrne, Baganuur, 2016. On my first impromptu visit I was led into Informant 3’s room. He was dressed in very neat Tibetan style-monk robe (as opposed to a Mongolian-style lama dee/) and also sat at a large desk, with thangkas of Guru Rinpoche / Padmasambhava (on his left) and Vajrapani (Ochirwaan ’) (on his right) along with a smaller framed image of Begtse, the protector otherwise known as Jamsran, prayer books and ritual objects as well as several photographs of his gurus (teachers) who he introduced into our conversation. On this and the second time I went to see him he told me his story and how he came to set up this temple. After the first revival of Khégshin khiiree ceased operations in 2001, he became a member of the monastic community in Gundgawarlin in Khentii province, the revival of the great Setsen khanii khüree. Some years after he went there he met a learned dsod practitioner, Ven. Bor, who was the last surviving monk in the pre1937 Khüükhen khutagtiin khüree” who had founded a small temple for dsod puja.“ A year later he and his fellow monks invited Ven. Luwsanbandsar, a Nyingma lama who founded Namdoldechenlin Monastery in Ulaanbaatar to Ven. Bor’s temple where Informant 3 joined with ten young monks from the same temple to receive 3 Cf. www.mongoliantemples.org. DOMM X9PJI 076 Khüükhen khutagtiin khüree. Cf. www.mongoliantemples.org.
