Aglag Buteel Monastery
Aglag Buteel Monastery - Aglag Buteeliin Khiid is located approximately 100 km from Ulaanbaatar. These carved rocks are the work of the students and teachers from the Buddhist college.
“Monastery of Tranquil Felicity”, is one of the three largest Buddhist monastic centers in Mongolia. The monastery complex is located in the Iven Valley near the Selenge River, at the foot of Mount Büren-Khaan in Baruunbüren sum (district) of Selenge Province in northern Mongolia. The nearest town is Erdenet which is about 60 km to the southwest.
The monastery was established and funded by order of Manchu emperor Kang Xi or Enkh-Amgalan Khan to serve as a final resting place for Zanabazar (1635–1723), the first Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, or spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism for the Khalkha in Outer Mongolia. According to tradition, while searching for an appropriate site to build the monastery, the exploratory group came across two young boys, Amur and Bayasqulangtu, playing in a field on the steppe. They were inspired to build the monastery on that very spot and to name it after the two children, Amur-Bayasqulangtu. Construction took place between 1727 and 1736 and Zanabazar’s remains were transferred to a newly created temple in 1788.

The vistas remain breathtaking, making one wonder about the park’s beauty on a sunny day. The monastery, in and of itself, lacks uniqueness. However, what sets this place apart are the Buddhist carvings and art nestled into the mountainside, as well as the trails that wind around the mountaintop. From stunning valley lookouts, one encounters goddesses etched into stone, amidst sculptures of wildlife on beech-lined trails - a serene and delightful opportunity to connect with nature.
Located 16 km west of Bornuur soum in Tuv province, just at the foot of Dalyn Khavtsal Mountain, the monastery was established by Buddhist artist and lama, G.Purevbat, to foster meditation, education, and book creation. Guarding the monastery gate is a mythical Garuda griffin protecting its eight eggs, alongside a beaver with a fish Head. The esteemed monastery and Buddha’s portrait take pride of place, with the Yanjinlkhama goddess adorning the right wall, while paintings depicting paradise and hell enliven the left wall.
