82. Mongolian Buddhism Threatened By Brimstone Merchants The missionaries are, for the most part, blatant cultural imperialists and typicallyuse deception and subterfuge to undermine traditional Mongolian culture. http://website.lineone.net/~kwelos/Mongolia.htm

Rebuilding Mongolian Buddhism - the threat from Christian evangelism Buddhism was all but obliterated in Mongolia for sixty years, the worst persecutions being carried out during the late 1930's by the Stalinist dictator Khorloin Choibalsan, when tens of thousands of lamas, monks, and ordinary believers were executed or worked to death by forced labour. The vast majority of Mongolia's monasteries and temples were destroyed. When communism collapsed in the early 1990's, freedom of belief was again allowed. However Buddhism had been seriously weakened and the spiritual vacuum was rapidly filled by various foreign interests, most notably US fundamentalist Bible-thumpers. These pushy evangelists deployed, and still continue to deploy, lavish funding together with high powered salesmanship to propagate their memes The missionaries are, for the most part, blatant cultural imperialists and typically use deception and subterfuge to undermine traditional Mongolian culture. They accuse Buddhism of being responsible for backwardness, and attribute the West's technological and scientific pre-eminence to its Christian traditions. (whereas anyone familiar with European history will be aware that it was only when the Church lost its iron grip on freedom of expression that scientific progress became possible - see obscurantism ). Although Christian evangelists are willing to jump on board the western scientific bandwagon when preaching in Buddhist countries, they soon reveal their antiscientific mindset when back on their Bible-belt home ground - see

ASIA SOCIETY PRESENTS DANCING DEMONS: CEREMONIAL MASKS OF MONGOLIA July 12 through September 17, 2000 Exhibition is part of New York City-wide Celebration of Mongolian Culture. Sometimes called "devil dances," the traditional Lamaist Buddhist dance ceremonies of Mongolia require spectacular masks and accoutrements to drive away evil spirits and conjure good luck. This exhibition of more than sixty objects, never before displayed in the U.S., includes splendid masks, costumes, headdresses, ritual aprons and ceremonial implements from the 19th and early 20th centuries. These rare objects and the exhibition's themes attest to the survival, and revival, of a culture that had nearly been obliterated by Communist dictate in the 1930s. Dancing Demons: Ceremonial Masks of Mongolia is on view July 12 through September 17 at the Asia Society at Midtown, 502 Park Avenue (at 59th Street), New York City. (Asia Society at Midtown is the Society's interim location while its uptown headquarters is undergoing renovations to be completed in Fall 2001).

The Yellow Sect, in contrast to competing sects, stressed monastic discipline and the use of logic and formal debates as aids to enlightenment. The basic Buddhist tenet of reincarnation was combined with the Tantric idea that buddhahood could be achieved within a person's lifetime to produce a category of leaders who were considered to have achieved buddhahood and to be the reincarnations of previous leaders. These leaders, referred to as incarnate or living buddhas (see Glossary), held secular power and supervised a body of ordinary monks, or lamas (from a Tibetan title bla-ma , meaning "the revered one)". The monks were supported by the laity, who thereby gained merit and who received from the monks instructions in the rudiments of the faith and monastic services in healing, divination, and funerals. Buddhism and the Buddhist monkhood always have played significant political roles in Central and Southeast Asia, and the Buddhist church in Mongolia was no exception. Church and state supported each other, and the doctrine of reincarnation made it possible for the reincarnations of living buddhas to be discovered conveniently in the families of powerful Mongol nobles.

This region also includes some of the finest and largest petroglyphic complexes in North Asia. In addition, project members have recorded extensive petroglyphs and Turkic ritual sites; deer stones; Turkic images and ritual altars and khereksur, and a great number of other scattered Turkic images, standing stones, and deer stones. Through this process of recording and documenting, the Project is gradually building a vivid picture o f the ecology of culture in the Mongolian Altay between the late Pleistocene (approximately 11,000 calendar year B.P.) and the Turkic period (first millennium C.E.).

The Mongols The Mongols were an obscure people who lived in the outer reaches of the Gobi Desert in what is now Outer Mongolia. They were a pastoral and tribal people that did not really seem to be of any consequence to neighboring peoples. The Mongols were in fact a group of disunified tribes that would gather regularly during annual migrations; although they elected chiefs over the tribes at these meetings, they never unified into a single people. Their religion focused on a sky-god that ruled over nature deities, similar to the Japanese native religion Shinto, and the gods communicated to them through shamans. All that would change however, under the leadership of a powerful and vigorous leader named Timuchin or Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan Timuchin was the son of a poor noble in his tribe. Born sometime in the 1160's, he gradually unified the disparate Mongol tribes and, in 1206, was elected Genghis Khan, or "Universal Ruler" (also spelled Chingghis or Jenghiz Khan). He began to vigorously organize the Mongols into a military force through conscription and taxes on the tribes. With his small army (no more than one hundred and twenty thousand men), he managed to conquer far larger armies in densely populated areas. The Mongolian Empire was perhaps the largest empire in human history in terms of geographical expanse. It extended west to east from Poland to Siberia, and north to south from Moscow to the Arabian peninsula and Siberia to Vietnam. For all that, Genghis Khan was primarily interested in conquering China because of its great wealth. While Mongol armies spread quickly west, Genghis Khan preceded cautiously in expanding southward, conquering first the northern Tibetan kingdom and later the Chin empire. When he died in 1227, he had just finished conquering the northern city of Beijing. By 1241, the Mongols had conquered all of northern China.

94. Patrick's Mongolia Page Oyunbileg s Great Mongol HomepageA webpage about Mongolian cultureand happenings in the American Mongolian community. In English. http://home.att.net/~patricksommer/mongol.htm

Mongo lia Welcome to the Mongolia section of Patrick's Page. Mongolia is a place where I spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer, from 1996 to 1998. There I lived in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, teaching English and doing community development work. I hope that some of my Mongolian friends will visit the page and others just interested in learning something about the country. Some of my pictures and associated stories are posted below. Also, be sure to visit the links that I have posted at the bottom of the page for great Mongolia related sites. Traversing the Gobi Here in the Gobi Desert, where the population averages less than one person per square mile, such sights are rare. Typical Mongolian families move their yurts (or "ger" in Mongolian language) four times a year, in search of fertile grazing land. It is not uncommon for as many as six family members to live in one ger. This photo was taken from the Moscow-Beijing train, moving at fifty miles per-hour. Notice the electrical lines, which follow the railroad tracks from the northern capital of Ulaanbaatar to deliver power to a sleepy provincial capital of 20,000 people five hundred miles to the south. Stroller and Spear Empowered by his too-small stroller and spear, Batbold proudly exclaims, "I am Genghis Khan, King of the Mongols!" Since leaving home, the resourceful boy has lived many places and invented many toys. During most of the previous winter, Batbold lived in the sewers of Mongolia's capital city, Ulaanbaatar. He says it was difficult, but warm. In a place where January temperatures often dip to twenty degrees below zero, warmth is the primary concern. Cold and very much alone, Batbold was discovered by a police officer late last winter and given a bed, school, and hot meals. However, spring has now arrived and Batbold is again on his own. For Batbold, warmth is freedom.

95. Mongolian Museum Due to the geographical and political isolation of mongolia, much about theirculture and the religious beliefs are just recently coming to light. http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/activity/mongolia/

Mongolian Museum The history of the Mongols in China dates back thousands of years. The Mongols were a fierce breed of people who survived and prospered in a time of war and violence. The most powerful and famous warlord in Mongol history was Chinggis Kahn, also known by his Persian name, Genghis Kahn. Born in 1167 AD, Chinggis Kahn's military power succeeded in uniting many of the individual tribes of Mongolia into one unified country under one powerful leader. Although Chinggis Kahn will be remembered throughout history for controlling the largest empire at one time, much about Mongolia and its inhabitants still remains a mystery. Due to the geographical and political isolation of Mongolia, much about their culture and the religious beliefs are just recently coming to light. Western civilization is finally getting a chance to appreciate the fierce beauty of these nomadic people. View Teacher Notes The Task You are a curator of a new Mongolian museum exhibit. It will be the first exhibit in history to reveal some of the mysterious artifacts of Mongolia. This could be the break that your curator career has been waiting for! There is only one small problem...the anthropologist who has arranged the shipment of the artifacts in Mongolia has mysteriously disappeared. It does not appear that the anthropologist recorded any descriptions of the artifacts, but he did label each piece. Basically, you have a bunch of crates with old, expensive, and rare "stuff" in them. If you are going to pull off this exhibit, it will be up to you to carefully examine each artifact, identify it, and explain what each piece reveals about Mongolian culture.

Sodnom State Publishing-House Ulan Bator 1967 The age of the wearer, too, is reflected by the dress. The costumes of elderly people are, as a rule, modest and plain, while young people prefer gay, stylish clothes. The female dress shows differences between the attire of the girls and of married women. The costumes of the latter are decorated and adorned more splendidly. Often the white sheepskin was dyed yellow or green and provided with ornaments. For summer clothes the materials mentioned above were used, but also woollen cloth and velvet. As linings, thin fabrics were used. As a rule, the dresses were richly adorned. The national artisans created jewelry and ornaments of gold, silver, corals, pearls, and precious stones. Embroidery in different styles is also widely applied for adorning the garments: back-stitching, stem-stitching, etc.
