The ancient Indian culture and arts reached Mongolia through its dharma
Vesak (Pali: Vesākha, Sanskrit: Vaiśākha), known as Buddha Jayanti or Buddha Purnima and Buddha Day is observed by Buddhist communities in and beyond India as the day of the birth, enlightenment and death (Parinirvāna) of Gautama Buddha.
We in Mongolia also plan to celebrate the Buddha Day on 26th May declared as a public holiday.
Historically, Buddhism was introduced to Mongolia not once but three times. The first transmission happened over two thousand years ago when in ancient times Indian acharyas went to Mongolia for disseminating Dharma. A famous Mongol scholar, Gabju Zava Damdin (1867-1937) who was one of the founding members of the Institute of Sutras and Letters of Mongolia, has recorded in a book on history- Buddhism was introduced into Mongolia through the Silk road at the time of Hunnu (Xiangnu) empire, known as the first state established by the Mongols, nearly 2200 years back”.

A Demolition Drive Called the Central Vista Project
Demolition involves not just tangible aspects but a moral dimension too. Does political morality allow a government elected to power for five years to raze down what has been enriched over the years?

An event of this magnitude would have hogged the headlines and dominated prime TV time until a few years ago. Resistance to the project is mired in procedural wrangles with limited redemptive value and predetermined outcomes.
