It was after that visit that Jampel Ludoy, future Kamby-lama of Tuva, made up his mind to become a Buddhist and went to India to study in Tibetan monastery Drepung Goman.

Now Jampel Ludoy tries to do his best so that all the Buddhists in Tuva have a chance to meet His Holiness Dalai-Lama.

Last month Jampel Ludoy together with Buddhist monks of Gjudmed monastery held a three-days prayer for the quickest arrival of His Holiness Dalai-Lama, the highest hierarch for Buddhists to Tuva.

“We keep addressing the highest Buddhist deities with our most sincere prayers for His Holiness to come to our republic as soon as possible. We know and believe that these prayers will be heard”, - the supreme lama of Tuva said.
