Description
Summary:During the Ilkhanid era, Iran was one of the centers for the expansion of Buddhism opinions, especially Vajrayana sect.This religion has been associated with Sufism and had some effects on it. In this article with descriptive and historical research method, we tried not only to examine the role of Buddhism in the Ilkhanid period, especially during the Arghoun Shah era, but also to study the interactions between Buddhism and Sufism, with emphasis on the personality of ʿAla al-DolehSemnani.

During the collaboration with Arghoun, he was in contact withBuddhists and although he was a critic of some of their thoughts but he was under their influence.
