Buddhism on the Silk Road
Click on the image above for a large map showing where Tibetan Buddhism flourished along the Silk Road
At the beginning of the seventh century the Tibetan army, under the leadership of King Songsen Gampo, began to move into Central Asia. As the western end of the Silk Road, the cities of Kashgar, Kucha and Khotan fell to the Tibetan army. To the east, the Tibetans came into direct conflict with China, and a war between the two states, interspersed with periods of peace, lasted for nearly two centuries. At its furthest extent, the Tibetan Empire included the Chinese capital itself, conquered in 763. The Tibetans also conquered the Tangut people, who were converted to Buddhism. After King Lang Darma was assassinated in 842 bringing to an end the dynasty of Tibetan kings, the Empire began to collapse and the Tibetans disappeared from Central Asia shortly afterwards.

After the end of the Empire, individual Tibetan religious teachers travelled to Central Asia to give instruction to powerful rulers. It is likely that some went to the court of the Tangut Empire.

Tibetan Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism , also called Lamaism (for a religious master is called a lama ), is the body of religious Buddhist doctrine and institutions the characteristic of Tibet , technically known as Vajrayana or Tantrayana . Tibetan Buddhism includes elements of Theravada Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism came from India into Tibet in 173 AD during the reign of Lha Thothori Nyantsen. However, Buddhism did not take a strong foothold until the 9th century. Introduced to Tibet in the 7th century , it married to both the Shamanistic Bön Religion (see Shamanism ), and Tantric elements. The original Bön was a religion of magical and exorcist practices, which made the Lamaism dependent on the use of mantras, elaborate ritual, and the worship of guardian deities and the new idea of living incarnations of Buddha
Schools
Tibetan Buddhism has five main schools:
  • Nyingma Kadam : presumed extinct, efforts to revitalize it are present in the Buddhist community Kagyu Sakya Geluk : though the most influential, it is the latest, hence not a part of "The Four Great Schools" traditionally.
An one minor one:
  • Jonang: presumed extinct, survived in Eastern Tibet.

I have always been drawn to Tibetan Buddhism, or that form of Buddhism (as not all aspect of Buddhism have the same philosophy and beliefs just like in other religions) that was taught in Tibet. It could be that it is familiar to me possibly as I may have had one or more past lifetimes in this area. Also in our research with the crystal skulls, some links with Tibet have come up and while I was writing my story Crystal Skull Chronicles , I felt it was important to include the Tibetans in the story. A thought came to me one day (May, 1997), why not put out a message in a Tibet Buddhist news group and see if I can begin a dialogue via email with a practicing Buddhist, to make sure that some of my ideas were really how things were. So this is how I met Trinlay Khardo, who responded to my message. Since early May of 1997, we have been sending emails back and forth and I discovered that the philosophy and spiritual belief of Tibetan Buddhism are not exactly the way I thought it was. So I thought for our New Age section dealing with Indigenous cultures, it might be a good idea to have a page about Tibetan Buddhism from a person who is actively involved. Therefore I thank Trinlay for taking the time to share this information with our readers ....

The two-year suspended death sentence handed down by the Chinese authorities is due up on the 7th April 2004. The manner in which the initial trial was conducted and the sentence handed down on 7th April 2002, were deemed by many to be highly suspect. There is every chance that Tenzin Deleg Rinpoche will face a life sentence, or worse still, death by execution. There is little time left to make an impression on the Chinese, but what time is left can be used to great effect. Follow the link to Free Tibet Campaign's information on how you can help, by clicking on the image of the Houses of Parliament. Further links to Tenzin Deleg Rinpoche's case are listed in Free Tibet News The resistance movement inside Tibet is facing an intensified crackdown by the Chinese authorities in their pursuit of eradicating any opposition to their rule. The lack of any substantive effort on the part of the British, European and United States governments to stop the Chinese abusing the Human Rights of Tibetans is appalling! What chance have the Tibetans got of the UK government's support, when Tony Blair will not even make room in his diary to meet the Dalai Lama when he visits Britain in May and June of this year? The Foreign Office and 10 Downing Street may well turn around and hint at the quiet diplomacy that goes on, but frankly, it is not good enough. For decades now, ever since the 1950s, the Tibetans have been terrorised by Chinese authority over their homeland, and the world has effectively stood by and watched it happen.

134. What IS Tibetan Buddhism?
tibetan buddhism. one finds oneself in the selfperfected state this is contemplation. tibetan buddhism in Relation to Other Buddhist Traditions.
http://www.haystack-group.com/tibetan.html
Tibetan Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism derives from the confluence of Buddhism and yoga which started to arrive in Tibet from India briefly around the late eighth century and then more steadily from the thirteenth century onwards. Indian Buddhism around that time had incorporated both Hindu yogic and tantric practices along with the classical teachings of the historical Buddha who lived around 500 BC. It acknowledged that there were two paths to enlightenment ( complete transcendence of identification with the personal ego ). One path was that taught in the sutras according to the historical teachings. The heart of sutra practice was based on morality, concentration, and wisdom ( not identifying with the personal ego ). The other path, which has become the cornerstone of Tibetan variations, was tantric. This practice blended the sutra teachings with techniques adapted from Hindu systems of yoga and tantra. Tantric systems transform the basic human passions of desire and aversion for the purpose of spiritual development. Rather than denying such primal urges, tantra purifies them into wholesome and helpful forces. It is very much like trying to deal with a wild horse charging towards you. One way is denial: put up your hands and shout out, "stop, stop!" Probably you will be bowled over by the animal. Another, more clever, approach is to step aside and then jump on its back as it charges past you. In such a case, you have a chance to start coaxing it to move in certain directions, and over time you may be able to direct it into a stable. Truthfully, one needs some skill in both self-control and acceptance if one is to be successful with tantric work.

The Dharma Dictionary is an ongoing project involved in compiling Buddhist terminology and translation terms to bridge the Tibetan and English languages. Begun in 1979, it has slowly grown to a database of approx 5 megabytes with 65,000 entries. Comparatively, the Tibetan-English Dictionary of Sarat Chandra Das has approximately 27,000 entries. The project is supported by Rangjung Yeshe Translations and Publications, located in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal. The Dharma Dictionary is a compilation of:
  • verified entries from existing dictionaries, word-lists and glossaries selected on a practical usage basis
  • terminology used by translators of the present day who have received extensive teachings from living Buddhist masters
  • selected definitions and clarifications from classical literary works
  • information of literary personages, sacred places, and names of scriptures.
The Dharma Dictionary spans the areas of being an extensive glossary, a list of usage of Buddhist terms in present day works of translation, a massive amount of dictionary entries, a lexicography of places, people and literary works, and an encyclopedic covering of topics of importance to the Buddhist world.

Last updated: May 27,2004 A lthough born and peaked in India, today (1999) Buddhism is more popular outside India than within. We know very little of history of Buddhism till the reign of emperor Ashoka , who transformed Buddhism into a great world religion. In the following pictures, two distinct aspects of Buddhism in India can be seen: one ancient (Ashokan and subsequent) and the other the Buddhism as practiced and advocated by the Tibetans (now in India as refugees). The contribution of Buddhist teachings on the Hinduism (sixth century B.C. onwards) was great and led to several reforms of Hinduism. Some Hindus believe that Buddha was one of the avatars of Lord Vishnu himself. The contribution of arts inspired by Buddha was also great and can be seen in the caves of Ajanta and many other edicts spread across India. Indeed, the lions of Sarnath became the emblem of free India. Table of Contents

Tibetan art of divination
By Dorjee Tseten Tibetan Bulletin
March - April 1995
Although means of telling the future were employed in Tibet, before the advent of Buddhism, they are not regarded as an alien remnant outside the Buddhist framework that it is occasionally convenient to call upon. Rather, they are used within the sphere of Buddhist concepts, functioning in accordance with Buddhist principles such as karma. There are no references to divination in the collections of sutras, but many can be found in the tantras. Purpose: By looking into someone's future, the diviner or medium can assess the particular situation and recommend how to respond or deal with it Remedial action, in the form of rituals, evokes positive forces and can result in a change in the person's fortune. Rituals will not change a person's karma, and those requesting and performing a divination are aware of this. However, they can induce latent positive potential to take precedence over that which is perceived as the cause of an impending misfortune. The efficacy of a ritual involves the patron making offerings of food and money to the monks or adepts performing it. The merit acquired from this gift is used to trigger the forces of latent positive potential in oneself or others. Thus, one is not transferring merit and stepping outside the laws of cause and effect, but merely using merit to awaken the forces of one's own or other's good karma.
