Abstract

One of the internationally recognized research fields of the Department of Mongolian and Inner Asian Studies (Eötvös Loránd University) is the multilateral studies of various aspects of Mongolian Buddhism. Gábor Bálint of Szentkatolna’s (1844−1913) materials are invaluable sources of 19th-century Mongolian Buddhism. The topic became one of the major academic subjects of Louis (Lajos) Ligeti (1902−1987), the founder of our Department and establisher of Mongolian religious, historical and linguistic sources. We, the second and third generations of disciples, adherently follow his traditional methodology, nevertheless try to introduce new research approaches, i.e. the aspects of “tradition, invented tradition and innovation”. The present collection of articles is a topical one as it is closely connected to such social, political and cultural phenomena as “country branding”, “country image”, “cultural branding” interwoven with the aspects of tradition, innovation and invented tradition.
