Abstract

It is known from history that the diplomatic, trade and migration routes connecting different countries and nations passed through the lands of Central Asia. In addition, since ancient times, China has maintained relations with the peoples of Central Asia. Currently, the importance of Central Asia as a bridge connecting China, East Asia and European countries is increasing.

It is known that Buddhism is one of the oldest religions. This religion was brought to Central Asia by noblemen and missionaries through the first system of caravans and waterways that covered all the regions of that time known as the Great Silk Road. This article deals with historical monuments of Buddhism in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
