Erdeni zuu (English spelling)

Japanese: エルデニ・ズー(英語表記)Erdeni zuu
Erdeni zuu (English spelling)
The oldest Lamaist temple in Outer Mongolia, located in the northern part of Oborkhangai Aimak, Mongolia. Its name means "treasure temple." In 1587, Abadaikhan, a powerful tribal leader of the Outer Mongolians, met with the Third Dalai Lama in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, and swore to be his patron. He was given a Buddha statue, and in 1589, Erdeni Zu was built to enshrine it. This marked the beginning of the spread of Yellow Hat Lamaism throughout Outer Mongolia. Incidentally, to the northwest of this temple is the site of the capital city of Karakorum, built by Ogedei Khan.

モンゴルのオボルハンガイ・アイマク北部に現存する外モンゴリア最古のラマ教寺院。〈宝の寺〉を意味する。1587年外モンゴル族の有力部族長アバダイハンが内モンゴリアのフフホトでダライ・ラマ3世に謁して,その施主となることを誓った際,仏像1体を授けられたので,これを奉祀するために89年エルデニ・ズーを建立したとされる。これをきっかけに,外モンゴリアにくまなく黄帽派ラマ教が普及することになった。なお,この寺院の北西には,オゴタイ・ハーンの建設したカラコルムの都城址がある。
