Abstract

In this article an offering text written in Tibetan by Mongolian monks will be presented. The Tibetan text is given in Latin transcription accompanied by an English translation and a few preliminary notes. This Buddhist text was dedicated to Dayan Degereki, a Mongolian deity, who appears, due to religious syncretism, once as a fertility god and a guarding spirit of the shamanic initiations, once as a protector deity of the Buddhist law. This text forms the backbone of my PhD dissertation to be submitted soon, which will offer an analysis of the present text in a wider context of religious syncretism.
