Extractions: Buddhism Subdivisions Theravada ... Pure Land Tibetan Zen Korean Zen Page 1 of 4 Printable version of this page Tibetan Buddhism Tibetan monastery Tibetan Buddhism is a religion in exile, forced from its homeland when Tibet was conquered by the Chinese. At one time it was thought that 1 in 6 Tibetan men were Buddhist monks. The best known face of Tibetan Buddhism is the Dalai Lama, who has lived in exile in India since he fled Chinese occupation of his country in 1959. Tibetan Buddhism combines the essential teachings of Mahayana Buddhism with Tantric and Shamanic, and material from an ancient Tibetan religion called Bon. Although Tibetan Buddhism is often thought to be identical with Vajrayana Buddhism, they are not identical - Vajrayana is taught in Tibetan Buddhism together with the other vehicles. History Buddhism became a major presence in Tibet towards the end of the 8th century CE. It was brought from India at the invitation of the Tibetan king, Trisong Detsen, who invited two Buddhist masters to Tibet and had important Buddhist texts translated into Tibetan. First to come was Shantarakshita, abbot of Nalanda in India, who built the first monastery in Tibet. He was followed by Padmasambhava, who came to use his wisdom and power to overcome "spiritual" forces that were stopping work on the new monastery.

Extractions: Tibetan Buddhism Buddhism, a non-theistic religion, is often described as a "mind-science." Tibetan Buddhism claims that through the systematic practice of its timeless methods, one's mind can be transformed into its highest potential of wisdom and compassion. Each individual is ultimately responsible for his own present and future happiness or despair. Westerners are increasingly attracted to Buddhism because its ageless truths (called Buddhist Dharma) and psychological technologies (meditation in its various forms) appeal to both the heart and intellect. A pleasant surprise for newcomers to Buddhism is its encouragement of open minded skepticism and tolerance of other religious views. The Buddha said 'Examine my teachings critically, as a gold assayer would test gold. If you find they make sense, conform to your experience, and don't harm yourself or others, only then should you accept them.' The ultimate goal of Tibetan Buddhism is for an individual to evolve to the point of being able to skillfully help others in all possible ways (to become a living Buddha). This is accomplished by eliminating all our habitual destructive attitudes and perfecting all our good qualities, thus achieving the state of supreme enlightenment. To this end we dedicate our efforts and extend a warm welcome to new friends.

Tibetan Buddhism
tibetan buddhism. The scriptures of tibetan buddhism are divided into two great collections the canon, or sacred books, and the exegetical commentary.
http://www.connect.net/ron/tibetanbuddhism.html

Extractions: Tibetan Buddhism , predominant religion of Tibet and Mongolia, also called Lamaism; it is essentially Buddhism of the Mahayana school, with elements of modified Shaivism and native ritualistic shamanism. In AD 747 the Buddhist monk and scholar Padmasambhava (Sanskrit "born of the lotus flower") journeyed from northern India to Tibet, where he established the first order of lamas, or monks. Thereafter the religion spread rapidly. Tibetan Buddhist worship consists mainly in reciting prayers and sacred texts and chanting hymns to the accompaniment of horns, trumpets, and drums. For this worship, which takes place three times a day, the clergy are summoned by the tolling of a small bell and are seated in rows according to their rank. Religious rites performed by the lamas involve the use of rosaries, (known in Tibetan as pren-ba ), prayer wheels, and prayer flags, in addition to holy relics, charms, talismans, and such mystical incantations as the frequently repeated
Ocean Of Merit
The Ocean of Merit ºÖ¼w®üÂù¤ë¥Z is a free Chinese newsletter published by º~Â¦ò¾ÇªÀ on tibetan buddhism ¶Ç²Î¦èÂ¦ò±Ð (ie Nyingma
http://www.namoguru.org/

Extractions: How do we break away from our own mental habits which cloud our mind and propel us to act negatively? To liberate ourself and others from suffering by cultivating compassion and recognizing our innate uncontrived wisdom is the Buddhist path. Buddha is NOT a god but a reflection of our own natural perfection beyond birth and death. Furthermore, many people have mistaken the Buddha's wisdom of "emptiness" for nihilism. Emptiness does NOT mean nothingness or any negation but rather it implies a clear awareness free from all mental constructs. More than 2500 years ago, Buddha Shakyamuni, the fourth historical Buddha, realized complete liberation from the suffering of cyclic existence and passed down 84000 teachings from his spontaneous enlightened wisdom to help beings of various dispositions and backgrounds. His lineages of oral transmissions have been kept unbroken to the present days by the kind Tibetan Buddhist teachers. Sino-Tibetan Buddhist Study Group recognizes a lack of authentic Tibetan material written in Chinese on the subject and publishes a free bi-monthly newsletter collecting Chinese translations of the teachings taught by the great Tibetan lamas. This web page is dedicated to make the newsletter Ocean of Merit even more accessible. Although mere intellectual studies bring about relatively little benefits, it is nevertheless a starting point. One should search patiently and carefully for an authentic teacher with an unbroken lineage and selfless qualities who can remove all doubts from one's mind stream and give guidance on the path.

http://www.diamondway-buddhism-university.org/

Extractions: W elcome to the Intercollegiate Diamond Way Buddhist Network. This organization was founded in January 2003 by groups and centers affiliated with universities throughout the Americas and around the globe. Our general goal is to create a support structure for all new and previously established university groups and to make Diamond Way Buddhism accessible to all university and high school students and professors. This site offers centralized access to all major Diamond Way Websites and Online Teachings , as well as personalized access for university group organizers. If there isn't currently a Diamond Way Center in your area, resources are readily available for starting a new university-affiliated group on your campus or in town. In addition, we've also provided a means for professors to invite Buddhist teachers to speak in their classes as guest lecturers. Our ultimate aim is to form a chain of well-functioning Diamond Way Buddhist groups, based on friendship and idealism, which will be capable of hosting Karma Kagyu teachers such as The 17th Karmapa Thaye Dorje, Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche, Lama Ole Nydahl, and their senior students for lecture tours on university campuses worldwide. Eventually we would like to translate the site into many languages so that our friends throughout Europe, Russia, and Latin America will be able to use it as well. We are part of a worldwide network of over 400 Diamond Way Buddhist Meditation Centers in the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
Journal Of Religion And Film: Orientalist Commercializations: Tibetan Buddhism
Orientalist Commercializations tibetan buddhism in American Popular Film. by Eve L. Mullen. tibetan buddhism in American Popular Film by Eve L. Mullen Abstract.
http://www.unomaha.edu/~wwwjrf/OrientalMullen.htm

Extractions: Abstract [1] Many contemporary American popular films are presenting us with particular views of Tibetan Buddhism and culture. Unfortunately, the views these movies present are often misleading. In this essay I will identify four false characterizations of Tibetan Buddhism, as described by Tibetologist Donald Lopez, characterizations that have been refuted by post-colonial scholarship. I will then show how these misleading characterizations make their way into three contemporary films, Seven Years in Tibet Kundun and Little Buddha . Finally, I will offer an explanation for the American fascination with Tibet as Tibetan culture is represented in these films. Article Seven Years in Tibet Kundun and Little Buddha ; and third, offer an explication based on a psychological model of the commercial creators of such popularizations and the American society which consumes them. [3] We are not the first to witness crafted presentations of Tibetan culture. James Hilton's
