Already in the 1970s, a few other lamas besides Dandaron also began to teach people who came from the western part of Russia. These included Lama Buda and Lama Zhimba Zhamso Tsybenov (1904–1995) in the Aginsky Buryat National District but outside of Aginsky Datsan, as well as several lamas at Ivolginsky Datsan near Ulan Ude. These included Hambo Lama Zhimba Zhamtso Erdyneev (1907–1990), Hambo Lama Munko Tsybikov (Munko Lama) (1908–1992), Lama Darma Dode Zhalsaraev and a few others.
