REFLECTIONS ON THE PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWS AND WoRKS BY Two MONGOLIAN BUDDHIST THINKERS (17™ AND 20™ CENTURIES) T. Bulgan National University of Mongolia, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies; Dsanabadsar University, Gandantegchenling Monastery, Ulaanbaatar I have great pleasure and honor to participate in the Budapest international seminar under the great motto “Mongolian Buddhism: past, present and future” hosted by the Eötvös Lorand University, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and Hungarian scientific research organizations on the blissful occasion of the 380" anniversary of Ondér Gegeen Dsanabadsar (Khal. Ondér gegén Janabajar), the Mongolian Great thinker and spiritual leader of the 17-18" centuries, held in Budapest, the beautiful capital city of Hungary. I would like to express my special thanks and gratitude to Professor Birtalan Agnes and Dr. Dezső Tamás, Dr. Teleki Krisztina, and to the other members of the Hungarian organizing committee of this international conference, all those who worked hard and made a great contribution to organize this workshop successfully. On this occasion, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all distinguished scholars, professors from Hungary and foreign countries, who gathered here in Budapest for this great forum on all aspects of Mongolian studies, like religion, history and culture, and who dedicated much time of their life to a great deal of study and work on this field of Mongolian Buddhism, irrespective of their own personal beliefs. My presentation aims at giving a brief analysis of the philosophical works and views of two Mongolian Buddhist scholars who lived in the 16" and 20" centuries. Firstly, I would like to pay homage to the great Ondér Gegeen Dsanabadsar (1635— 1723) who was the spiritual leader of Mongolian Buddhism, a great thinker, embodiment of a living Buddha of Mongolian Buddhism in the 3" period in the history of Mongolian Buddhism, and one of the prominent masters of Mongolian culture in the 16-17" centuries. Dsanabadsar or the first Jebzundamba was a great spiritual leader, wise scholar, statesman, artist and religious teacher of Mongolia. He was a direct descendent of Chingis Khan and from this genetic source inherited his talents as statesman. Meanwhile, many scholars made and are making great contribution to study and learn on his marvellous works on linguistic, art, spiritual, cultural as well as philosophical identities. | Arpaanxaiiqys: Aducmadutin 0990uüe xaüpraeuuün ye ymevıe caümap moopyynazu (Maaun Ganm9ruän Marag ytra).
