home search help worldguide ... Postcards Tibet History Little is known of the beginnings of the Tibetan people. They originated from the nomadic, warlike tribes known as the Qiang. The Yarlung kings unified much of central Tibet and extended it into central Asia, northern India and Pakistan. It was through conquest that Buddhism made its appearance in the kingdom, although bloodthirsty theological disputes weakened its support and clerical monastic Buddhism experienced a 150-year hiatus, coinciding with the collapse of the Tibetan empire in 842. By 907, China had recovered almost all the territory it had lost to the Tibetans, and the two states had little contact until Genghis Khan's arrival in 1239. The Mongols were impressed enough by the by-now resurgent Tibetan Buddhism that they made it the state religion of the Mongol Empire in East Asia. The collapse of the Mongol empire ended the relationship a century later. In the 15th century, the rise to power of the Gelugpa order of monks, whose lamas were believed to be reincarnations of their predecessors, once more attracted Mongol approval. The third such lama received the title of 'Dalai', meaning 'Ocean,' and implying 'Ocean of Wisdom.' It marked the Gelugpa's entry into turbulent waters of worldly affairs. Not surprisingly, the local nobility monastic elite saw the alliance as a threat, and conflict ensued. In 1611 the king attacked Drepung and Sera monasteries. The fourth Dalai Lama fled Tibet and died at the age of 25 (he was probably poisoned) in 1616. In 1640 Mongol forces intervened. The Tibetan king was taken captive and later executed. The fifth Dalai Lama assumed power within Tibet, which was pacified with Mongol backing by 1656.

Facts on Tibet Home Facts on Tibet The history of Tibet Legend tells the Tibetan history starts with a monkey and a siren. The monkey was sent by Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezi) for religious retreat on the high plateau. The siren managed to persuade him to marry her. Having the permission of Avalokiteshvara, they married and had 6 children. They were believed to be the ancestor of the Tibetan people. However, archeology and geology discovery makes ethnologists believe Tibetans are decedents of aborigines and nomadic Qiang tribes. According to archeological discovery, Tibetan history can be traced to 4,000 years ago. In 1951, Tibet was peacefully liberated under the 17-point Agreement on Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet. Hundreds of thousands serfs were liberated from the yoke of serfdom.

Kublai Khan Foreign Contacts During the 18th cent., British authorities in India attempted to establish relations with Lhasa, but the Gurkha invasion of 1788 and the subsequent Gurkha war (1792) with Tibet brought an abrupt end to the rapprochement. Jesuits and Capuchins had visited Tibet in the 17th and 18th cent., but throughout the 19th cent. Tibet maintained its traditional seclusion. Meanwhile, Ladakh , long part of Tibet, was lost to the rulers of Kashmir, and Sikkim was detached (1890) by Britain. In 1893, Britain succeeded in obtaining a trading post at Yadong, but continued Tibetan interference led to the military expedition (1904) of Sir Francis

hr = escape(window.location.href); History Little is known of the beginnings of the Tibetan people. They originated from the nomadic, warlike tribes known as the Qiang. Chinese records of these tribes date back as far as the 2nd century BC. However, the people of Tibet were not to emerge as a politically united force until the 7th century AD. The Tibetans have many myths concerning the origin of the world and themselves. As the myths suggest, the Yarlung Valley was the cradle of the civilization. Credible historical records regarding the Yarlung Valley Dynasty date only from the time when the fledgling kingdom entered the international arena in the 6th century. By this time the Yarlung kings, through conquest and alliances, had unified much of central Tibet. Namri Songtsen (circa 570-619), the 32nd Tibetan king, extended Tibetan influence into inner Asia, defeating Qiang tribes on China's borders. But the true flowering of Tibet as an important regional power came about with Namri Songsten's son, Songtsen Gampo (circa 618-49). Under Songtsen Gampo, Tibetan expansion continued unabated. Armies ranged as far afield as northern India and emerged as a threat to the Tang Dynasty in China. Both Nepal and China reacted to the Tibetan incursions by reluctantly agreeing to alliances through marriage. Thus, Buddhism first gained royal patronage and a foothold on the Tibetan plateau. The king even passed a law making it illegal not to be a Buddhist.

Before that, people had lived in Tibet for a long time. Excavations around Chamdo unearthed remains of neolithic people of around 50.000. years old. Tibetan civilisation started around the Yarlung Valley. Legend has it that here a monkey and a she-devil produced the first Tibettians. Around 600 AD, Namri Songtsen began bringing together the tribes of Tibet into a unified empire. However, he did not see the unity he strived for, but his son, Songsen Gampo did. Songsten build the empire into a fearfull entity in Central Asia and moved the capital to Lhasa. At this time, Tibet became Budhist. Songsten introduced Sanskrit as writing system and under the influence of his Budhist wives from China and Nepal, adapted Budhisme to Bon, the Shamanist religion the Budhists practised until that date. The next two hundred years saw Tibet become a great power in Central Asia. The empire stretched from Turkstan to Burma, incorporating Kashmir and all of the Hymalaya kingdoms. China was the big competitor in these days, as the growing influence of the Tibettians threatened the traditional Chinese rule over the Silk road oases.

Tibet Travel ABOUT TIBET TIBET TOURISM TIBET MAP GUIDE ... ABOUT US History of Ngari Dezogun followed his father's suit and became the head of Guge. The areas they ruled were called Burang Kingdom, Guge Kingdom and Ladakh Kingdom. Burang was described as a place where clouds meet, Guge (Zhabyran, and now Zhada) a place where clouds curve, and Moyu (Ladakh - Rutog) a place where clouds stand the highest. Henceforth, the large and small Yangtung areas, which were under the jurisdiction of the former Tubo Kingdom, were renamed "Ngari" (it means the three parts of Ngari). In later days, the three parts were gradually annexed by the Guge Kingdom established by Dezogun. Together with Tibet, the Guge Kingdom came under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty (1206-1368) in the 13th century, subordinate to the Pacification Commissioners General Office in the Three Regions of U, Tsang and Ngari. The charges of specific affairs in the Ngari region were turned over to the Sagya local administration. The Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911) basically followed the system of the Yuan Dynasty in terms of governing Tibet. After the fifth Dalai Lama established the Gandain Phodrang regime, Ngari was gradually incorporated into Gaxag (a local government of Tibet) under the support of the Qing Administration. Later, Zong (equal to county) and Ngari Jikyab, governor of Ngari, were established in the region. Ngari Prefecture was established following the Democratic Reform in 1959.

Tibet History and Freedom Class Schedule Map to the Yoga Room In May of 1995 I became acquainted with the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan situation through an organization called PeaceJam. That summer I participated in my first of two retreats with His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Because of his gentle nature and wisdom I have been drawn not only to the Tibetan situation but also to study Tibetan Buddhism. For me, Tibet is and was the only civilization left where all or most of their culture revolved around religion and its practice. The death and dying of Tibetan culture is a world tragedy because we rarely see cultures dedicated to spiritual fulfillment.
