| description | The Uyghurs, II. Kokturk Khaganate the political and cultural successors of the, had
important positions in the geography where they lived by getting in touch with various cultures
through activities such as agriculture and trade. The Uyghurs, who had a profound influence on
the peoples they came into contact with, added richness to the Turkic language with the literary
products they developed on the basis of religion. The Uyghurs who adopted the religions and
teachings such as Buddhism, Manichaism, Christianity and Islam, in line with these religions
and doctrines, translated the religious concepts of Buddhism and Manichaism into Turkic by
means of the Uyghur priests who searched for Turkishization by using various methods. These
methods include transferring the relevant religious terms using concepts belonging to the Old
Turk faith, producing Turkic equivalents and using the synonym Turkic word and foreign
religious term together. In the period of Orkhon Turkic in which the Turkic language was
witnessed in writing, there was a discourse that focused on the “state” and “people “, while there
was a vocabulary reflecting the metaphysical thought dimension in the Old Uyghur Turkic
period. The fact that the Turkic language has the power to explain metaphysical doctrines such as Buddhism and Manichaism is remarkable in terms of the indication of the processing of this
language. In this respect, Altun Yaruk, etc., who first explained the basic philosophy of
Buddhism in the period of Old Uyghur Turkic term ärdöktäg, which we witness through texts,
is one of the terms in the religious terminology of the Turkic language. In Buddhism, this term,
which means asıl the essence of existence, the essence, refers only to the awakening of the
difference to be achieved by the Buddha. In this study, the conceptual and linguistic value of the
expression ärdöktäg witnessed in the Old Uyghur Turkic texts will be addressed and the
importance of the term in Buddhism will be reflected in line with the texts witnessed. |
