摘要
The dissolution of Qing power in Khalkha Mongolia in 1911, the advent of a brief independent theocracy there under the Eighth Jebtsundamba Khutugtu, and the rise to political power of a native socialist movement in 1921 were part of broader shifts in Eurasian sociopolitical geography. As institutions adjusted to economic and political realities and pressures, intellectual transfers and encounters occurred, rupturing the horizon of traditional Buddhist scholastic endeavors. This chapter focuses on Khalkha Buddhist polymath Zawa Damdin during the twilight of the Qing and the dawn of Mongolian socialism. It highlights instances where new religious, intellectual, political, and historical ideas were digested or resisted by conservative Buddhist scholars. It shows how radical new ideas and authority structures were digested by one of the last heirs of conservative Mongolian Buddhism just before the purges of 1937.
