Refugees
Boudhanath is an extremely ancient site, however its importance as a Buddhist site has been greatly increased by the influx of Tibetan refugees over the last 60 years, that have fled here in order to escape Chinese persecution in their homeland. The circular cora around the stupa is surrounded by a number of gompas (monasteries) such as this one.
