This series explores the ontological intersections of nomadic memory, spiritual practice, and the environmental ‘vessel-world’ of Mongolia. Please refer to the Index of Landscapes and Articles for other works that may be of interest.

Whilst an earlier article, Landscape10: Teaching and Learning in situ circa 2005, offers readers a glimpse of what it was like at Delgeruun Choira (DC) in the Dundgovi at the commencement of reconstruction, these photographs are echoes of a decade and a half later (2015) in terms of locally-led and auspiced Mongolian Gelugpa cultural revitalisation.

FURTHER READING

For another perspective on the discipline behind cultural continuity, Mongolian Poetry 64: On Writing Poetry considers an inner world’s reflection of sustaining creative practice and lineage continuity.

Returning to the methodological importance of being there over time, Letter from Mongolia 09: Situated Interpretation considers the ethics and practical challenges of ethnographic presence and situated knowledge.

Through translation and lineage, Artscape 02: The Great Nenchen documents work with devotional poetry and the scholarly relationships through which this material is carried forward.
