Sur la route du Transsibérien où l'alternance des bouleaux et des sapins finit par peser, la Mongolie résonne comme une heureuse providence!...

La Mongolie

La Mongolie est l'une des dernières destinations encore préservées du monde.
Une terre où la culture, l'histoire et les paysages sont inextricablement liés,
Une terre où les nomades et leurs troupeaux errent encore dans les vastes steppes comme ils le faisaient à l'époque de Gengis Khan.

Le désert de Gobi

Le désert de Gobi est une vaste région désertique comprise entre le Nord de la Chine et le Sud de la Mongolie dont il englobe environ un tiers de la surface. Sa superficie est estimée à 1 300 000 km2, ce qui en fait l'un des plus grands déserts au monde. Contrairement aux images fréquemment associées aux déserts, le Gobi est davantage recouvert de pierres que de sable.

The older southern complex consisted of various administrative buildings as well as 11 temples. The northern complex, built in the 18th century, consisted of 17 temples - among them one of the largest temples in all of Mongolia. The grounds housed also 4 Buddhist universities. Founded in 1660, it was one of the largest monasteries in Mongolia and housed over 1000 monks at its height.

Both complexes of Ongi Monastery were completely destroyed in 1939 during anti-religious purges carried out under Khorloogiin Choibalsan, the then leader of the Communist Party of Mongolia. Over 200 monks were killed, and many surviving monks were imprisoned or forcibly laicized and conscripted into the Communist controlled army.

A large number of ruins including a tall stupa can be seen on the river and on the surrounding hills. In the 1990s, it was decided to rebuild the monastery. The first temple was inaugurated in 2004. There is a small museum in a ger in front of it. One of the stupas has just been reconstructed as well. It has a conmemorative plaque indicating the names of the monks who were killed in 1939.
