Mongol Religion

The Mongol religion traditionally centered on Tengrism, a shamanistic belief system emphasizing a sky god called Tengri, along with spirits of nature and ancestors. It blended animism, worshipping nature’s elements, with shamanic practices for communication with spirits. Over time, many Mongols adopted Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism, which influenced their culture and rituals. Islam and Christianity also influenced some communities. Overall, Mongol religion was a dynamic mix of beliefs focused on maintaining harmony with nature, honoring spirits, and seeking spiritual guidance, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle and their deep connection to the natural world.
