Mongolia has reduced the nations principal religion to shadow of the social and political force that counted 100000 lamas monks JUSI 56 years ago Some dwellings in the Mongo liziii capital still carry Buddhist symbols on the door and the an nual lsagaan Sar new year les tival at the monastery draws few thousand believers In the countryside there may be more Buddhists than in the city But public worship is limited to Gandam where western tourists often out number Mongolians and only 100 lamas survwe ENCOURAGE BY IN All1lt$ By ommunist accounts Buddhism deprived Mongolians of initiative made the country prey to foreign occupiers and drove the economy into stagna tion indeed the Chinese war lords who ran Mongolia as virtual provrnce until the begin ning of this century encouraged the religion which prowded lorrn of socuil organization Lamas some of them full time monks but others married and occupied With religion only parttime worked out ol 700 monasteries supporting them selves through donations and such businesses as camel ren ting and handicrafts The Communist takeover of Mongolia completed in 1924 led to increasingly heavy measures against the lamas Chiet lamas were barred from collecting money or services lrom peasants who had for merly lived under the control of their monasteries and antilt religious propaganda was spread by young Communist enthusrasts The 1930s virtually finished Buddhism Busrnesses carried out by monasteries were re stricted the enrolment of mi nors was outlawed and low ranking lamas were informed by the government that they no longer had to take orders from their superiors Leading lamas were put on public trial in 1935 and all lamas were made liable for military service In 1937 and 1938 lowranking lamas were lured into craft and agricultural cooperatives and according to Soviet accounts 2000 chief lamas were shot Monasteries were closed down en masse in the next two years The chief objection to Buddh ism appeared to be that its stress on persons future in carnation rather than present life supposedly made people uninterested in building up the country In addition organized Buddhism represented pos srbie rival to the government and Communist party organ izations Gives Satisfaction Always Freedom of religion is still guaranteed by the Mongolian constitution and belief in Bud dhism is not considered crime Buddhist seminary next to the Gandam Monastery has 20 lamas in training al though an official says they are being trained in scientific approach to the religion There is limited contact be tween the Buddhist commu nities here and in Tibet despite ideological differences that di vide proSoviet Mongolia from Communist China Some former monasteries now are museums others were destroyed in skirmishes be tween armed lamas and early Communist enthusiasts and others are simply decaying ii vur lmimiry 211 It 511 While QuartHm Lust We reserve the right to limil Quantities HANDSOMELY CRAFTED TABLES Only SPINDLE
