Tibetan Buddhism or Mongolian Buddhism? History and Identity Politics of Mongolian Buddhism.
Is Buddhism in Mongolia an outgrowth of Tibetan Buddhism or could it be termed as a unique Mongolian Buddhism? Contemporary Mongolian Buddhists prefer to say it is a Mongolian Buddhism. During the socialist period of the Mongolian People’s Republic it is officially documented as Buddhism of the Mongolian People’s Republic. In this lecture, Dr. Lhagvademchig will discuss why the Mongols dissociate Buddhism in Mongolia from Tibetan Buddhism in socialist and post-socialist period within the context of identity politics and historical narration.
Lecture will be held at the Faculty of Philosophy (Universiteto str. 9), room 201.
