Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explore the main peculiarities of the Buddhist religious practices in contemporary Buryatia. One often describes Buddhism as a religion free of formal membership in a religious community and a religious participation. From that point of view Buddhist religiosity neither has an institutional basis and perception as spirituality, nor has formal or organizational frames and perception as voluntarist action. However, the problem of followers’ integration is one of the most critical and constructive for unified normative understanding of religious practice as the main integration instrument. The basis of the Buddhist practice is the system of religious and philosophical ideas, divided into the Yanas. Different practices of these paths are aimed to the similar goal, but through the various methods of merit-making. One of the most important factors of the development of religious practices is that a few types of Buddhist communities are emerged in Buryatia. In the result of post-Soviet transformation of the cult system one can find some changes in the forms of the monastic and non-monastic community’s rituals and non-ritual actions.
