Buddhist Сenter "Rinpoche Bagsha" Datsan ("datsan" – Buddhist temple or monastery) was opened in Lysaya Gora area of Ulan-Ude in 2000. The monastery was built with the blessing from his Holiness Dalai Lama. Russia's biggest statue of Buddha Sakya-Muni - 6 m. high, made of bronze and covered with gold - stands in this temple. Around the temple you can see Buddhist stupas – architectural structures symbolizing the nature of Buddha's enlightened mind. When you walk around the temple and worship the stupas, you acquire numerous merits and wisdom, as the main purpose of a stupa is to help living beings get rid of negative manifestations and enhance positive ones.
