one meal midday during the 45 days of the Khailan oath-retreaing period. These are
clear examples of proper arrangement of seasonal diet.
Monks and masters in former times lived long with clear minds free from senility,
opaqueness, which directly related to their proper diet and intellectual exercises.
The Mongols thought that “a person dies because of Akinesa, and not because of
old age.” Aging is not obsolescence but a normal phenomenon of a healthy body.
However, combined obsolescence manifest with various diseases is called prema¬
ture or unhealthy obsolescence. According to the theory of traditional medicine, the
biological age of a person may be related to the percentage of “gas, jaundice, and
stomach cancer,” which are the primary universal qualities of organ systems, and
can be preserved in all parts of the living body. The main purpose of human life is
to live longer and the key of long life is healthy lifestyle. Biological age is not the
same as calendar age. The secret of the use of sheep tail’s fat in monks’ meal was
that it contains great amount ofunsaturated acid and non-substituting vitamin, which
prevent from senility, opaqueness and vascular hardness.
Rationale of the Research
In order to study the diets of Mongolian monks, we needed to deep dive into multiple
aspects of history such as what was the Mongols’ religion, when and from where
Buddhism was introduced to Mongolia and how the Mongols accepted it. Activities
and formalities of Buddhism have enriched the customs and historical tradition of
the Mongols to adapt its soil.
At this time, we have chosen the following topics to clarify the dietary and
lifestyle of the monks. Pilgrimage and ritual practice of monks became good
exercises for movement. According to the theory of traditional medicine, biological
age of a person may related to the percentage of “gas, jaundice, and stomach
cancer,” which are the primary universal qualities ofthe organ systems, possible to
be preserved in all parts of the living body. Obsolescence is a negative process of
living tissue development and cause deficiency of body by affected with internal and
external damaging factors of the human body until the end of life from the time of
birth. Matter of long living and obsolescence was discussed at World first science
meeting in 1938 when they introduced the possibilities of human being to live up
to 150 year or more.
Diet
Food and drinks reach in the stomach after being swallowed via the throat by holding
the gas, dissolved in the stomach by stomach diseases, melted by digestive jaundice,
then separate liquids and solids with stomach fire gas. Such solids become liquid or
solid excrements while liquids further develop 7 body strengths step by step. Such
a liquid is called refreshment liquid. The refreshment liquid develops with 3 digestive
