| Abstract | In a recent overview of the ‘two Buddhisms’ thesis of Buddhism in the West, Paul Numrich argued for the continued validity of this typology. In particular, through an extensive overview of current scholarship, he convincingly showed that the oft-noted dichotomy between immigrant Buddhism and western convert Buddhism remains a valuable heuristic tool. At the same he also suggested various avenues for further research. One such topic was the need to relate these developments of ethnic/convert and traditionalist/modern dichotomies in the West with the broader realities in the Buddhist communities of Asia (Numrich 2003, 70). To this end I would like to outline in this study how the Buddhist revival in contemporary Mongolia relates not only to the heuristic value of the two Buddhisms in Asia, but also to historiographical issues concerning the study of the Dharma.
