Abstract:The Mongolians’ rise in the vast grassland in the Northern part of China during the 13th century was followed by their expansion to the west. It was in that process, the Mongolians were introduced to Tibetan Buddhism. From the mid-13th century, Tibetan area became an administrative region under the central government of the Yuan Dynasty. In terms of culture, on the other hand, the Mongolians totally accepted the Tibetan Buddhist culture. This started a 700 years long trend of Tibetan Buddhist spreading to the Eastern part of China. This article is aimed at a relative systematical reconstruction of this process, while the relationship of the Tibetan Buddhism with the Western Xia, the formation of the Mongolian relationship with the Tibetans, and the Tibetan Monks’ appearance in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and the Tibetan Buddhist temples in that capital are to be dealt with in more details.
