- Zusammenfassung
- Mongolian Buddhism is an important historical and cultural phenomenon that is inseparable from Mongolian identity. The Buddhist religious practice embraces a variegated spectrum of forms, starting with the monastic practice up to the everyday rituals, prayers, mantras repeated by believers. The incorporating nature of Buddhism produced many local variants, and the Pre-Buddhist belief system changed the original religious views considerably. The Mongolian areal variants include many territorial and ethnic-specific elements of religious systems surviving in the Buddhist rituals creating new and unique traditions. In the present publication we offer a series of articles dedicated to textual tradition, rituals, holy masters, the historical and political role of Buddhism among the Mongols, etc. Besides, the readers can get an insight into the methodological framework of various institutes, and independent scholars studying these fields.
