АНГИ ЦЭРЭНДОРЖ, ТҮҮНИЙ БИЛИГ БАРАМИДЫН ТАЙЛБАРЫН ТУХАЙ

Abstract

1. During history several eminent Mongolian scholar monks spread the teaching of the Buddha

and explained Buddhist philosophy. The aim of the present article is to describe the "Explanation of the Prajnyaparamita" written by angi Tserendorj, who was a Gawj in Urga, also known as the Nuurt lam. The significance of his detailed Prajnaparamita explanation in three volumes is that he illustrated deep philosophical concepts with simple samples corresponding to the Mongolian way of thinking. He used the Prajnaparamita manual written by the eminent Tibetan polymath, Kun-mkhyen 'Jam-dbyangs bzhad-pa as a base, and specified and explained its terms and philosophical concepts from different points of view. Meanwhile, he emphasized and clarified one of the basic Mahayana teachings, the awakening of the mind, the Bodhicitta in order to attain enlightenment. The explanations of such significant philosophical works inherited from the eminent masters of the past help and encourage people to study Buddhism, to understand the proper meaning of the Buddhist teachings, to follow the proper way of life, and to understand the systems of causes and effects, the aims of collecting merits, and the real characteristic of wishes and aspiration.
