Based on interviews with lamas and other sources of information, innovative processes in daily monastic and lamas’ activities, in the administrative and cult organization of the monastery, relationship with the government and society are revealed. New tendencies in the development of Buddhism in Mongolia, its adaptation to modern social life are noted. History of restoration of the cult system in the internal structure of the monastery, the Buddhist monastic system of education, organization of educational process in college Zuunhuree are looked upon. It is noted that most of Buddhist monks combine Buddhist education with a secular one; many lamas receive additional secular specialties that is the new phenomenon for Buddhist tradition of Mongolia. However, the changes have not greatly affected the ritual part of the monastic life. Currently there is an active process of restoration of the former lost traditions. The lamas of the monastery together with historians are searching for archival documents and conducting researches on history of the monastery complex.
