Annotation	The article discusses the additional course of Buddhist monastic education in Buryatia (the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries) which is called Siddhanta (dubta). The book was analyzed based on Choira collection of Buddhist scholastic literature of the Center of Oriental manuscripts and xylographs (IMBT SB RAS) and traditional bibliographic catalogues ‘garchaks’ of the largest Buddhist centers of Buryatia. Our investigation has demonstrated that the study of this scholastic subject in the Buryat monasteries (the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries) has been provided by a varied Tibetan Buddhist literature from works of Sakya-pa scholar Tagtsan Lotsawa Sherab Rinchen (the 15th century) to popular textbooks of the famous scholars of Tibet, Mongolia and Buryatia. It is also necessary to emphasize that if we compare this section (Siddhanta) of Tibetan scholastic literature “Choira” with other sections (Pramana, Prajna-Paramita, Madhyamaka, Vinaya, Abhidharma), we will not find works by Indian authors and founder of Geluk school – Je Tzonkapa with his disciples. This confirms the historical fact that the beginning of the scholastic genre Siddhanta is due to the Sakya-pa activities and a special role that a scholar Jamyang Shep and his followers from Amdo and Mongolia played in the further development of the genre in the 18th – 19th centuries. An important revealed result of our research is the historical fact that the books of the Buryat monastic printing houses (Aga, Tsugol, Egita, Ana monasteries of Buryatia and Trans-Baikal region) provided for the local Buddhist education in this scholastic subject.
