Как добраться. Транспорт
Вблизи монастырского комплекса проходит федеральная дорога А165 (Улан-Удэ - Кяхта). Доехать до дацана можно на маршрутном автобусе №130 с пл.Банзарова г.Улан-Удэ, который едет до пос. Иволгинск, потом пересесть на маршрут Иволгинск - дацан. В дни больших хуралов маршруты №130 идут прямо до дацана. Если Вы выезжаете в дацан на авто, дорога из Улан-Удэ в среднем займет 30-40 минут.
Описание (английский)
Ivolginsky datsan is the Buddhist Temple located in Buryatia, Russia, 23 km from Ulan Ude, near Verkhnyaya Ivolga village.
The datsan was opened in 1945 as the only Buddhist spiritual centre of the USSR. In the course of time the little "Khambin's sume" changed into the Monastic centre with a residence of Pandido Khambo lama, the leader of all Russian Lamas.
It was the residence of the Central Spiritual Board of Buddhists of the USSR and later of the Buddhist Traditional Sangha of Russia,
as well as that of Pandido Khambo lama, the head of the Russian
Buddhists.
The spiritual activity of the datsan is manifested in temple
rites, medical practice, and a traditional system of Buddhist education.
The Buddhist university «Dashi Choinkhorling» was opened in 1991
attached to the datsan.
