| Abstract | Followers of Shamanism and Mongolian Buddhism argue to this day over Chinggis Khan’s religious identity. This chapter focuses on such arguments and on the Mongolian Buddhist liturgies and rituals related to the cult of Chinggis Khan. Regardless of the Mongols’ close historical ties to Tibetan Buddhism and the infiltration of the Tibetan language into their intellectual life, in their ongoing process of self-identification and re-imagination of the Mongolian Buddhist identity, the image of Chinggis Khan as a supporter of Buddhism has played an important role. The Golden Summary eulogizes him as a true Buddhist universal monarch whose greatness was foretold by the Buddha Śākyamuni himself. It identifies the Golden Clan of Chinggis Khan with the Golden Clan of the mythical king Mahāsammata, depicted in the White History as the first to set up the “policy of dual law” in the land of Magadha, the vajra-seat of the Buddha-Dharma. |
