by Lenarz-Geissen through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This piece chronicles the life of that fascinating grandson of the brilliant if brutal Genghis (Chingiz) Khan. By the time Kublai rules China during the Yuan dynasty, things have settled for the Mongols. He turns to Sakya Pandita for religious and spiritual advice and thus becomes the first to establish the famous patron/priest relationship that governed the Tibetans since his 13th century life.

  • @heomak it is Genghis who is considered to have a vast number (over 1 million) descendants today. As it was Genghis who was the original conqueror and womanizer.

  • i guess kublai khan isn't the ancestor of the east asian race like some people claim he is. i mean if he patronized tibetan buddhism, that would mean tibetans existed right along with the mongolians, meaning kublai couldn't possibly be the father of the east asian race.
