Annotation:
The article deals with the general historical, ethnogenetic, cultural, religious and philo- sophical factors that led to commonality and internal relationship of Tengrianism and the Northern Mahayana Buddhism and played an important role in the synthesis of "Tengrism" and Buddhism in the Middle Ages.
We believe that Tengrianism and Buddhism arose on the ethnogenetical, civilizational and cultural levels as the closely related religious and traced their roots from the initial Aryan-Turanian religion of Protomongols and Turks. The last originated in the Sayano- Altai ethnic and cultural area of Southern Siberia, which was an ancestral home of the Turkic-Mongol Tengrianism and so-called religion of the Aryans, as well as the home of the whole Eurasian nomadic (pastoral) civilization. Later Buddhism in India branched out from this religion.
We also analyzed such developed religious and philosophical schools of the Turanic- Aryan civilization as Zoroastrianism and its special branch – Mithraism, Bon religion of Tibet, Chinese Taoism, Altaic Ak-Jang and the Buryat-Mongolian version of Turko- Mongolian Tengrian Religion as a syncretic religion that had been formed due to the synthesis of Mithraic-Zoroastrian traditions with particularly nomadic ethnic and cultural traditions.
Keywords:
Eurasian mega civilization, unity and integrity of the Tengrian-Buddhist ci- vilization, the Turanic-Aryan civilization, nomadic civilizations of Eurasia, Zoroastrian- ism, Mithraism, Bon religion of Tibet, Chinese Taoism, Altai Ak-Jang, the Buryat-Mongolian version of the Turko-Mongol Tengrianism, Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism, Epic of King Gesar.
