Buddhist symbols in the historical and cultural paradigms and modern social and political processes in the Mongolian space

Symbols of religious culture as symbols of faith are formed, evolved and mutated in the process of historical and cultural transformations and socio-political modernization. Analyzing many aspects of the ethnic specifics of the Mongolian peoples and their ethno-confessional and ethno-cultural environment, the author concludes that the Mongolian metaethnic community (Hamag Mongol) sufficiently organically embraced Buddhist theory and practice. As modern science evidences, the phenomenon of socio-political adaptation of Buddhism by the entire Mongolosphere in many ways changed their mental parameters and characteristics.
