BIOGRAPHIES OF NEIDZHI-TOIN'S SUCCESSORS
In the history of the spread of Buddhism among the Mongolian people there are still quite a few gaps, partly because of the unavailability or inaccessibility of written sources and archival documents. Biographies of the first 3 reincarnations of Čaγan-diyanči lamas are looked upon in the article. They are known to be the followers of lama Neidzhi-toin, their spiritual teacher, and famous for their active work for the propagation of Buddhist teaching and its spread among Inner-Mongolian ethnic groups. The specific feature of their activities has been directed to translating mongolian ritual texts from Tibetan into Mongolian and to conduct religious sermons in Mongolian, not in Tibetan. Preliminary source survey of these biographies is given below.
