Years: 1281 - 1281
Kublai Khan, despite his education by Confucian scholars, adopts Buddhism.
He comes to practice (and will bequeath to his successors) a form of Buddhism blended with traditional shamanism (later known as Mongolian Lamaism).
In 281, the Khan orders the burning of sacred Taoist texts, resulting in the reduction in number of volumes of the Daozang (Taoist Canon) from four thousand five hundred and sixty-five to one thousand one hundred and twenty.
