His Eminence Khamba Lam Choijamts, Head of the Centre of Mongolian Buddhists, The Abbot of Gandan Tegchenling Monastery, is making visit to the USA by the invitation of religious “Zanabazar” center. At 1pm on 22nd of May, he will visit to “Saint Ajaa” center and read religious doctrines to Mongolians in America and explain practical aspects of how a Buddhist in Mongolia leads their spiritual life and how this can be an example to Westerners. He will illuminate insights in particular meditation practices, lead a meditation for Buddhists and non Buddhists and give a general blessing to everyone.

Early introduction of Buddhism into the Mongolian steppes took place during the periods of pre-Mongol states. Buddhism penetrated Mongolia from Nepal via Central Asia. Thus many of the Buddhist terms of Sanskrit origin, which are still used in Mongolia, were adopted via the Soghdian language.
