The monastery was established in 1835 by the Fifth Jebtsundamba, then Mongolia's highest reincarnated lama. It became the principal center of Buddhist learning in Mongolia. In the 1930s, the Communist government of Mongolia, under the leadership of Khorloogiin Choibalsan and under the influence of Joseph Stalin, destroyed all but a few monasteries and killed more than 10.000 lamas. The monastery, having escaped this mass destruction, was closed in 1938, but then reopened in 1944 and allowed to continue as the only functioning Buddhist monastery, under a skeleton staff, as a token homage to traditional Mongolian culture and religion. With the end of communism in Mongolia in 1990, restrictions on worship were lifted.

- India and China have a long history of cultural interflow and friendly interactions dating back at least last 23 centuries. Under the Tsin dynasty in 217 BC Buddhist scholars from India went to the Chinese capital. In 138 BC, Chang Ch'ien, the Chinese emperor's envoy to India, took back musical instruments and Maha Tukhara melodies to the Chinese capital Ch'ang-an. The Yuechi rulers presented Sanskrit texts to the Chinese court in 2 BC.The first historically owned Buddhist masters arrived in China in AD 67. Kumarajiva, born of an India father and a Kuchean princess, educated in Kashmir and Kashgar reached Chang-an in 401 and stayed there till 412 AD. He translated 106 works of Sanskrit into Chinese, the most outstanding one being Saddharma-Pundarika-Sutra or the Lotus Sutra.This is a great work of literature containing the core of Buddha's teaching of compassion. China has many grottoes that rival Ajanta in their synthesis of India suppleness and Chinese grace. The sandy city of Tun-huang has the sacred grottoes of Ch'ien Fo Tung or the Caves of the Thousand Buddha.A stone tablet of the Tang dynasty states that the first 'Cave of the Unequalled Height' was constructed by an India monk in 366 AD. In 828 AD, Emperor Wen Tsung had an image of Avalokiteshwara set up in all the 44,600 monasteries of the empire. The Chinese pilgrims to India like Fa-hsien, Wang Hsuan-tso, I-tsing and others have bequeathed historic records which are invaluable for an understanding of India's cultural and political history of those times.
