From the Tibetan burial ground to the Mongolian steppe. A new life for Buddhist ritual practice in post-socialist Mongolia
This article deals with a Buddhist ritual that originated in Tibet almost a thousand years ago and became popular in Mongolia with the introduction of Tibetan-style Buddhism. During its long existence in Mongolian lands, it has undergone many changes. During the socialist period, it became invisible in the religious landscape, in the 1990s it reappeared and in the 21st century it thrives on a wave of renewed popularity. This paper discusses the T…

Mongolische religiöse Literatur
Die religiöse Literatur der Mongolen umfasst autochthone sowie buddhistische Texte. Die autochthone religiöse Literatur ist anonym und wurde mündlich überliefert; die meisten heute vorliegenden Texte sind im 18. und 19. Jh. entstanden, enthalten jedoch wesentlich älteres Material. Gegen Ende des 13. Jh.s setzte die Übersetzungstätigkeit buddhistischer Schriften ein, zuerst aus dem Sanskrit und Uigurischen, später aus dem Tibetischen. Der früheste…
History Writing and the Making of Mongolian Buddhism
When in the late sixteenth century the third Dalai Lama travelled to the Mongolian regions, he was accompanied by Buddhist monks of different Tibetan schools, Gelugpa, Sakyapa, Kagyüpa and others. Many of them built monasteries and temples in Mongolia, funded by Mongolian nobles. Although Gelugpa Buddhism quickly became dominant in Mongolia, the other schools remained present and active in the country until today. From the start, however, most Mo…

The place draws Mongolian tourist-pilgrims who visit the monastery and adjacent sites as part of a family day-trip or longer holiday.

Systematically ordering the world
Since the early 18th century, the Buriyad-Mongols of the Transbaikal regions moved between two worlds : they were part of the Russian Empire and at the same time part of the greater Tibetan Buddhist world. As a consequence, Buriyad-Mongolian intellectual culture developed and thrived in a multi-lingual and multi-cultural setting, simultaneously drawing on Tibetan, Mongolian and Russian taxonomies. Based on a contextual analysis of select Buriyad-…
