Тэмдэглэл :
According to Dashtseren lama, Akhu datsan was situated near the present Lenin Club, which is south of Sükhbaatar Square (and north of Choijin lamiin süm, Rinchen 915). Sereeter (p. 78.) claims that as well as the many temples of Choijin lamiin süm, a financial unit (jas) belonging to Awag datsan also operated in the area of the fenced-off courtyard of the temple complex. These two names, Akhu and Agwa seem to be used for the same temple, being two different Mongolian distorted forms of Tibetan sngags-pa meaning ‘Tantric’.
According to Dariimaa (p. 97.) the foundation of Awag datsan (Tib. sngags-pa grwa-tshang, a tantric monastic school) was laid in 1924. It was the last temple to be founded in Ikh Khüree before the destructions of the late 1930s. It was situated east of Choijin lamiin süm (Rinchen 915) and had the official privileged rights of a small datsan.
As for the initiation of the temple, Dariimaa claims (p. 97.) that a separated fenced-off courtyard and a gate was created. A huge golden statue of Chagdün Jandin Seded (Tib. phyag …? gdugs dkar, ‘seven armed (?) Sitatapatra’), an emanation of the goddess with the white umbrella (Seded or Tsagaan shükhert, Düger) was planned to be placed to the temple.
According to Dashtseren lama, Akhu datsan was a Gelukpa (Yellow Sect) temple. It was a big square shaped temple building with no lamas residing there and no daily chanting. Ceremonies were conducted here for specific purposes in which about 20-30 lamas from Gandan and Züün Khüree were invited to participate.
No other data could be gathered about this datsan. See UBNR 953 AM.pdf
