| dc.description.abstract | Broadcast Transcript: Mongolians consider names to be very important. The ner hairlah or naming ceremony for a newborn is taken very seriously. But the name ceremony notwithstanding, Mongolians are not against changing their names later in life if they feel that this will be beneficial. This new name is usually given by a lama and used only within the family. So, for example, if you've suffered a long illness and recovered, a new name might be given to symbolize the start of a new and healthier life. Mongolians believe that the voice carries power and it is hoped that speaking someone's new, good name will bring all the successes and benefits the first name failed to impart. New name. New Karma. Sounds good. #ceas #hacker #mongolia | |
