Abstract

The article examines the textual space and toponyms that are typical for Buddhist works, since Buddhist faith is widespread among Tuvans, as well as the Mongols, Buryats, Oirats and Kalmyks. Our study also focuses on folklore texts in the genres of heroic epics and fairy tales, primarily also dealing with heroes’ deeds.

The author analyses works wherein the Buddhist faith and cult found a reflection in Kalmyk, Tuvan and Buryat folklore. The components of these Buddhist reflections have been found to include mount Sumeru, the names of deities, specific realities, including books and prayers, and descriptions of rituals as an element of everyday practice. Some modern Tuvan toponyms have direct correspondences in one of the versions of the Kalmyk epic ‘Dzhangar’, which expands the geography of the Kalmyck heroic epics to cover more real locations.

Overall, Buddhist elements in the oral folklore of peoples professing Buddhism include  references to sacred objects, names of deities, names of Buddhist writings and prayer texts, and descriptions of rituals in the context of daily practice.
