Datsan
Datsan (, , ; ''derived from'' ) is the term used for Buddhist university monastery, monasteries in the Tibetan tradition of Gelukpa located throughout Mongolia, Tibet and Siberia. As a rule, in a datsan there are two departments—philosophical and medical. Sometimes a department of tantra, tantric practices is added to them where the monks study only after finishing education in the philosophical department. In pre-Russian Revolution (1917), revolutionary Russia, datsans traditionally existed only in the Buryats, Buryat territories, most of those now included in Republic of Buryatia, Buryatia and Transbaikalia (a number of datsans there have been reconstructed or newly established since the early 1990s). There was a difference with Tibetan administrative idea: in Tibet, several datsans were education-centered parts of larger organizations,Rinchen, B.; Maidar, D., ed. (1979).
