This forum is for scholars and monks to present their work of different aspects of Mongolian Buddhist practice. In accordance with speakers’ own specific research interests, presentations can cover any aspect of Mongolian Buddhism including monastic life, education, rites, religious texts, chanting, contemplation, the cult of objects of worship, connections with nature, devotees, other religions, and any other approaches of old and contemporary practices.
The workshop will focus not only the Buddhism of Mongols living in the present area of Mongolia, but will cross the border to the beliefs and practices of Mongols in China, Russia or other places in the diaspora. The distinctiveness of Mongolian Buddhism in practice will be revealed through presentations and round-table discussions. The scientific papers will be published in DVD or book format. The 2015 Workshop presentations will be available at the workshop.
