The Gandantegchinlen Monastery (short name: Gandan), a Tibetan monastery in the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator, has been restored and revitalized since 1990. It was established in 1835 by the Fifth Jebtsundamba, Mongolia's highest reincarnated lama at the time. The name translates as "Great Place of Complete Joy." It currently has over 150 monks in residence. It features a 26.5 meter-high statue of Migjid Janraisig, a Buddhist bodhisattva also known as Avalokitesvara. This monastery became the principal center of Buddhist learning in Mongolia.
