Features: This book extensively utilizes original materials in Chinese, Mongolian, Tibetan, 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, as well as the interrelationships among the Mongolian tribes (Tumet, Khalkha, and Junggar) regarding Tibetan Buddhism. The aim is to understand the role and significance of Tibetan Buddhism in the political and historical contexts 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 its relationship with the Qing Dynasty's establishment of a solid regime in Tibetan Buddhist regions. These contributions are highly valuable for academic circles. It also holds significant historical reference value for addressing ethnic and religious issues in contemporary China's border regions, as well as positive practical implications.
