After 1989

Shouldn't there be something in this article about what's happening with Mongolian Buddhism since the fall of communism in the 1990's? Tom129.93.29.10 04:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There should be info in this article about Mongolian Buddhism since 1989.

Also this article should discuss how Mongolian the Mongolian Buddhism is. What make(s) it Mongolian. Gantuya eng 00:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding a small section, but it should be expanded. MarcusGraly (talk) 16:00, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Vegetarianism

How do Mongolians reconcile Buddhist vegetarianism with a cattle economy? --Error 19:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are the Tibetans vegetarians? Gantuya eng 00:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The linked article Buddhist vegetarianism explains the relationship between Vajrayana buddhism and vegetarianism quite clearly. --Latebird 09:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vegetarianism is predominantly found in Chinese Buddhist traditions. Tibetans and Mongols eat meat. It would be near impossible (until recently) for Mongols to survive on vegetables in the steppes, as they only have meat and imported flour to live on outside of the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. The Buddha ate meat (in fact, purportedly died from bad pork) as did his disciples. The actual first attempted schism in the tradition came from his cousin, Devadatta, who wanted to push vegetarianism as a requirement, which the Buddha saw as too extreme. There is no need to reconcile, as the earlier user asked.

I wonder how a sentient being can be happy eating the meat of the fellow sentient beings. Gantuya eng (talk) 21:06, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mongolian Buddhism or Buddhism in Mongolia

This should be classified separately as its own religious tradition, rather than the general description of "Buddhism in Mongolia." There is too much focus on Tibetan Buddhism and not enough on Mongolian Buddhism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.231.33.54 (talk) 11:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's true. This article looks like "Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia". Gantuya eng (talk) 21:03, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

khutughtus

I think it would be useful to give some hint on where the khutughtus were located. I guess naming the monasteries may be a bit pointless (Jalhanz Hutagtiin Huree etc.), what about modern sums and aimags, which can probably be found out from www.mongoliantemples.net.

Is Danzanravjaa's reincarnation series already in the list?

Yaan (talk) 13:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Dogshin Noyan Khutughtu is Danzanravjaa's reincarnation series.

More will be added and will be classified into tamgatai and tangaqui.

Also with clarifying the information, their shavi territories (for tamgatai) or khoshuns will be added (with the corresponding modern soums)

Tsam

"There are still elements of modern Mongolian Buddhism that display the early amalgam between Buddhism and local shamanistic practices, such as the Mongolian Buddhist dance, the tsam."

Which exactly elements of Tsam demonstrate amalgam of Buddhism and Mongolian Shamanism? Wasn't Tsam adopted from Tibet in the 18th century? Gantuya eng (talk) 13:21, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The tsam is present in many different Buddhist countries, but takes on different forms in each one. The Mongols received their version from Tibet, but made it their own with the White Old Man and other deities within the Mongolian Buddhist pantheon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.184.220.98 (talk) 02:55, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
