騰格里信仰突厥人蒙古人匈人匈奴中亞游牧民族的傳統信仰[1],帶有薩滿教泛靈信仰圖騰崇拜祖先崇拜色彩。騰格里信仰以一神論思想為主[2][3],崇拜中心神靈騰格里突厥語𐱅𐰭𐰼𐰃ẗŋr̈y→täŋri、täŋäri或täŋiri保加利亞語Тангра Tangra土耳其語Tanrı蒙古語ᠲᠩᠷᠢ Tngri英語Tngri達斡爾語:tangar /təŋgər/[4]哈薩克語:تاڭىر Тәңір 回鶻語 /tängri/;維吾爾語:تەڭرى tengri[5])。後由於受到佛教印度教等影響,騰格里被加上各種稱呼,分裂成為眾多神靈,17世紀後甚至出現「九十九騰格里」的說法,有學者因而稱之為「一神論和多神論的結合」[6]。在歐洲可薩人保加爾人馬扎爾人[7]阿瓦爾人也曾信仰騰格里[8]。騰格里信仰也是歷史上突厥汗國西突厥汗國舊大保加利亞保加利亞第一帝國的主要宗教。

「騰格里」一詞最早出於匈奴,在中國古代典籍中,寫作「撐犁」[9][10]。「騰格里」,是古代中亞游牧民族對於天的稱呼,與突厥同族的敕勒發展出了「蒼天」(Koke Tengri;蒙古語:Khukh Tengri)的概念[11],而蒙古人將蒙哥·騰格里(突厥語:Mangu Tangri;蒙古語:Mongke Tangri,漢語譯作長生天)作為最高信仰。現代土耳其語也稱騰格里信仰為「Göktanrı dini」,意為「天神教」,語源是蒙古語的「Khukh Tengri」,即「蒼天」[12]

騰格里信仰認為人的存在由「長生天」騰格里和大地母親烏麥英語Umay維持,人需要誠實、有敬畏心地生活以調和自己的世界,並使自身的靈魂變得更為完美[1]

騰格里信仰在其各信眾部族中逐漸被伊斯蘭教藏傳佛教摩尼教[13]基督教等強勢宗教取代,但自20世紀90年代起蘇聯解體起,中亞新建立的突厥語族共和國又開始重新推崇這種傳統信仰[14][15],在俄羅斯西伯利亞薩哈共和國韃靼斯坦共和國布里亞特共和國圖瓦共和國等地也有復甦跡象,但不與既有信仰衝突[16]吉爾吉斯共和國的前政府成員達斯坦·薩里古洛夫英語Dastan Sarygulov成立了「騰格里軍」(Tengir Ordo),旨在宣傳騰格里信仰的傳統價值;他還領導有一個聲稱有50萬名信眾的騰格里社群,支持國際騰格里信仰的研究[17]

蒙古薩滿信仰英語Mongolian shamanism(蒙古語:Бөө мөргөл Böö mörgöl)以騰格里信仰為核心,也常常被直接稱為「騰格里信仰」或「騰格里教」(Tengrism)[18][19]

Among her major moves was the founding of a Mongolian Shamans' Association (Golomt Tuv) which gave Mongolian shamans a common platform and brought them into touch with shamans in other parts of the world, with the prospect of starting a shamanic world organization. Through some books Sarangerel also spread her Mongolian message to Western audiences. She traveled widely, giving lectures and holding workshops on Mongolian shamanism. Moreover, she started a Mongolian shamanic association of America (the Circle of Tengerism).»
