Summary: | From the eighteenth century, Tibetan Buddhism of Gelug-pa lineage grew rapidly in the Eastern Siberian Transbaikal (Zabaikalie), establishing its organizational structure and gaining followers among the native population. Interactions between Tibetan Buddhists and Catholic and Protestant newcomers: missionaries, exiles, settlers, businessmen, and finally tourists resulted with abundance of written and published sources expressing impressions of the Western authors. The article poses questions considering cognitive patterns in ways of presentation of Tibetan Buddhism concentrating on cognitive concepts of availability heuristics, cognitive dissonance, and confirmation bias. It examines influence of different religious background of Catholic and Protestant authors on their opinions about Tibetan Buddhism. |
