THE MAIN RELIGIONS

BUDDHISM AND
SHAMANISM ARE
TWO OF THE MOST
DOMINATING
RELIGIONS
THE BUDDHISM
The Buddhism dominates the
religious scene in Mongolia. It
became popular in the country .

when the Mongolian emperors

of the Yuan dynasty converted
to this religion in the 12th and
13th centuries. After the fall of
this dynasty, Buddhism lost its
importance in the region till it
was revived once more in the
16th and 17th centuries.
 SHAMANIS
M
Shamanism refers to the indigenous
folk religion of the people of
Mongolia. It is the oldest religion
practiced in the country. At that time
the Mongolians were worshipping
the “Hoh Tenger” (blue skies).
According to this belief, the skies are
the father, and the earth is the mother
of all beings in the universe.
Mongolians also worshipped various
natural elements.
 Genghis Khan made this a
fundamental part of
Mongolian tradition. And he
is also highly respected by
the followers of this religion
who worship him as one of
the embodiments of the

SPORTS
- The Three Games of Men (which are preserved and prolonged from the
past until today): Wrestling, archery and horseracing.
• Wrestling (since 7000 years ago): the most popular sport – the highlight
of Nadaam festival. The aim of the sport is to knock one’s opponent off
balance and throw him down, making him touch the ground with his
elbow and knee.
• Horseracing – the most important part of Nadaam festival. Mongolian
kids are excellent riders, for both girls and boys have been riding since
their infancy (aged from 5 – 12). Riders are confronted with various
obstacles like rivers, ravines and hills. The distance varies according to the
ages of horses, between 15 and 35 km.
• Archery: The Mongols use a compound bow, built up of layers of horn,
sinew, bark and wood.
 From the beginning of 20th century, modern types of sports started to
develop (e.g football, skiing, basketball…)
