Abstract:
Abstract:By the beginning of the 20th century, more than 750 temples and monasteries were established and most of them had manba datsan (Medical school). For example, the names of the 104 major monasteries with mamba datsan were identified.
Traditional medicine personnel were systematically prepared and names of manba datsan and establishment date were identified, which is an important significance of the research.
According to our research, nearly all major monasteries have their own manba datsan, and the Ikh Khuree manba datsan Sorigshampanlin, Zayiin Khuree manba datsan, Tariatyn Khuree of Choinkhor Van, manba datsan of Lamyn Gegeen Khuree, manba datsan of Khand Chinvan Khuree were not only famous for their training but also talented doctors.
The basic condition for preparing doctors based on the "Four Medical Tantras" book is directly related to the third introduction of Buddhism in Mongolia in the 16th century. Datsans of various disciplines were established long with the large Buddhist monasteries in Mongolia, including manba-datsan for educating doctors.
