History
The datsan was founded in 1758 and, initially, was located in a felt yurt on the slope of Mount Shilsan. In 1773 a wooden temple was built, which later burned down. The sacred relic, the 16-volume book “Hume,” perished in the fire.
After the fire, the Taishi of the Khorinsky Buryats, Damba-Dugar Rinchine, appealed to the Irkutsk governor F.N. Klichka about the construction of a new datsan. By order of the governor in 1782, a new Dugan temple was built near the Kodunsky Machine Tool and the datsan at that time was called Kodunsky.
At that time, it was the only datsan among the Khorinsky Buryats. It held the services of 79 lamas and huwaraks . The first shireete (rector) was Lama Lubsan Namzhil, a native of Tibet . Later, in 1775, 1806 and 1821, three more Dugan temples were built on the territory of the Kodun datsan.
The datsan's parish included the Buryats, who lived in the territory of modern Kizhinginsky , Eravninsky , Khorinsky and Zaigraevsky districts of Buryatia, as well as the western regions of modern Trans-Baikal Territory .
However, for most believers, the Kodun datsan was geographically distant. Therefore, they turned to the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, N. N. Muravyov , asking for permission to transfer the datsan to a more convenient place. In 1853, permission was obtained and in the lower reaches of the Zakha-Sibir River, on the northern side of the Kizhinga River, a new Kizhinga datsan was founded.
In 1891, the construction of a two-story cathedral church - Tsogchen-dugan was completed. The Choir monastery school was opened (the faculty of Tsanid). Kizhinginsky datsan became one of the centers of philosophical Buddhist education.
In subsequent years, the datsan continued to develop: three dugans were built, as well as Maidarin sume, Munhe maani, eight Shodon suburgan . The number of lamas and huwaraks reached 520 people.
Kizhinginsky datsan was distinguished by its beauty and wealth. The monastery masters and craftsmen from the surrounding uluses were famous for their mastery in the manufacture of religious products. In their work, they used different techniques: casting, stamping, stamping, clay modeling, papier-mâché, ceramics, stone and wood carving, embroidery.
In 1919, the Great Stupa Jarun Hashor was built and consecrated in the valley of the Kizhinga River.
After the October Revolution (1917) in 1937, the Kizhinginsky datsan was destroyed to the ground. Part of the datsan’s property was stolen, the statues were broken, the most valuable and rarest books, letters, unique documents were burned. Llamas were repressed.
Rebirth
The revival of Kizhinginsky datsan began in 1991. With funds raised by the laity, the Tsogchen-Dugan was restored. Later, Devaazhin-Dugan, Sahyusan-Dugan and Maani-Dugan were recreated.
Large statues were installed - the eight-meter Shakyamuni Buddha (Buddhas of our era), and the three-meter Bodhisattva Maitreya (the future Buddha).
On the territory of datsan there is a small original temple-dugan in the form of a cave, dedicated to the great enlightened Tibetan yogi and the poet of the Middle Ages Milarepe .
On September 18, 2011, the official opening of the Shakyamuni Buddha Palace took place, the construction of which began in 2007 [3] .
At datsan there is a hotel for guests of honor. A small stadium is built nearby, where during the Buddhist holidays, traditional competitions of wrestlers and archers are held. The interior of the Tsogchen-Dugan also differs from the design of the other Buddhist temples of Buryatia [4] .
