It is hard to underestimate the Ustuu-Huree temple reconstruction idea. The temple is of a great importance for people of Daa Kozhuun, also of Sut-Holskiy, Dzun-Hemchikskiy, Ovyurskiy, Bay-Taiginskiy, Mongun-Taiginskiy, Barun-Hemichskiy, Chaa-Holskiy, Ulug-Hemskiy kozhuuns. In older generation’s memory, the Ustuu-Huree temple and everything associated with it stays as a reminiscence of the great holy site. Not many witnesses and beholders of the temple’s prosperity have left. All these, is the result of totalitarian regime. Those boys, who came to the Ustuu-Huree in its prosperous times as monks have already left this world, therefore almost nobody’s left. 
My wife Sophia’s father, while being a child was received there as a huuraki, but held out only for a few months: he was send back home hence being naughty. The temple was a privileged place and not everybody had an opportunity to study there: only diligent and talented children were accepted.
