History
The Betuvlin monastery was founded in 1999 by Lama Bakula Rinpoche , the former Indian ambassador to Mongolia, who oversaw the restoration of Buddhism in Mongolia after democratic changes. After his death, his disciple, Lama G. Purevbat , placed his relics in a 2.5 m high stupa made of 110 kg of silver, which is currently located in the monastery [1] .
