Features: This book extensively utilizes original materials in Chinese, Mongolian, Tibetan, as well as English, Japanese, and Manchu, drawing on the research achievements of predecessors. It comprehensively examines the relationship between the Mongolian and Tibetan regions in the 17th century, over two hundred years after the fall of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and the interrelationships among the Mongolian tribes (Tumet, Khalkha, and Junggar) regarding Tibetan Buddhism. The aim is to understand the status and significance of Tibetan Buddhism in the political and historical context of Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty. The manuscript puts forward many unprecedented perspectives on why the Mongolians once again embraced Tibetan Buddhism in the late 16th century and the relationship between Tibetan Buddhism and the Qing Dynasty's establishment of a solid regime in Tibetan Buddhist regions. These contributions are highly worthy of attention from the academic community. It also holds significant historical reference value for addressing ethnic and religious issues in contemporary China's border regions, as well as positive practical implications.
