Abstract

Hasbagan is the principal administrator of the Dashchoilin monastery in Ejine. Educated in a Buddhist college in Inner Mongolia he became a monk in the monastery in 1997. As an administrator of the monastery, he is paid a salary by the Bureau of Religion of the Ejine banner. His ancestors worked for Torghut nobles in the past, his grandfather once being a meiren (military commander) of the banner when Prince Lhavangjav was in power. He consequently suffered during the Cultural Revolution.
