Wikipedia's article on Buddhism in Mongolia, community-edited. Reliable for the standard, well documented outline of Buddhism's three imperial-era turns there: Kublai Khan's naming of the Sakya hierarch Phagpa as Imperial Preceptor, Altan Khan's 1578 meeting with the 3rd Dalai Lama that began the Gelug "second conversion," and the post-1990 democratic-era revival; not the right source for a contested doctrinal claim about either school.

Used across three hops (the 1260s Sakya patronage, the 1578 second conversion, the 1990 revival) for standard, well documented political and religious history, none of it a contested doctrinal claim. NotesUsed for Buddhism's Mongol-court adoption, its 1578 second conversion, and its post-1990 revival.
