Doctrines and teachings of Buddhism are based on the philosophy of perceiving and understanding the world. Mongolian saints considered the teachings and theories of Ikh Huleg (Great Wheel) to be based on the Choi Doctrine and therefore deeply respected them. Buddhist teachings pursue an aim of developing human wisdom, of understanding the essence of universe and of nurturing in human beings feelings of compassion, loving, kindness and amiability. This involves the recognition and perception of the force of wisdom, of the essence of the inner and outer worlds of a human being, and of reaching the state of Bodhisattva by purifying, according to the above philosophy, one's own self, mind and language. In fact, Buddhism is the science of pursuing the aim of making the human mind perfect, and of purifying the human soul. The Buddhist philosophy rejects the idea of a mighty Master of the World or Tenger (heaven). It says a human being, if he could attain enlightenment, could become a god (or Burkhan), and that a Burkhan's quality is in every human being.
It is not unusual and unacceptable, and if the human being attains enlightenment, and the state of Nirvana, that this would not mean the reaching of something supernatural and mysterious. According to the Buddhist philosophy, only by his own wisdom and power of his soul might one free himself from bonds and ties linking him to earthly affairs. Only by purifying one's soul, language and body would he be able to reach enlightenment and the state of Bodhisatva. The essence of Buddhist teaching lies in helping human beings reach this state, and developing his own inner and outer ability. Buddhist teachings had two doctrines, one related to the religious dogma and the other one to the religious tenets. The Doctrine of Buddhist religion, which spread throughout Mongolia several times served as a treasure trove of human wisdom and of the human inner world. The Mongols call Buddha the Burkhan or Perfectly Enlightened One.
