G.Mend-Ooyo's novel, The Holy One, was published in English after 5 years of its very first Mongolian publication.  The novel tells the story of the nineteenth century poet, educator and spiritual teacher, the Noyon Hutagt Danzanravjaa (1803-1856), and of his realisation of, and how he expressed, the secret wisdom in the teaching and practise of the historical Buddha and his descendents.
The Holy One also reveals how Danzanravjaa's life speaks to Mongol intellectual culture and the nomadic tradition of the Gobi area in which he lived, and how this tradition is an expression of the land and the environment in which he lived.
Dr. Simon Wickhamsmith worked on the translation of this novel, in which there are various idioms and expressions from 19th century, complicated wordings and compositions related with deep spiritual conceptions those are not much of use today. Also Khatanbaatar Choi edited the English publication and compared this translation with its Mongolian publication, for the qualifications in Religious and Cultural studies.
