It is sometimes called Lamaism, from the name of the Tibetan monks, the lamas [superior ones]. The religion is derived from the Indian Mahayana form of Buddhism, but much of its ritual is based on the esoteric mysticism of Tantra and on the ancient shamanism and sorcery of Bon, a primitive animistic religion of Tibet.

Tibetan Buddhism O ver thirty years ago China invaded Tibet. The principal reasons were: 1) Tibet has many natural resources that China wanted. 2) Tibet didn't have a modern army to defend itself. 3) Tibet had no strategic alliances with any Western nations that would help defend it. Many Tibetans were killed in the invasion. Many unarmed monks and nuns were imprisoned, tortured, and killed. Some Tibetans, including the Dalia Lama, were able to escape to India. Even today, Tibetans attempt escape from what used to be Tibet, so they can practice their religion and have social and economic freedom. The Chinese are trying to rewrite history, claiming they have invested millions into the Tibetan infrastructure and brought Tibet into the modern world. The only reason they build highways and airfields is to take resources out of Tibet. Tibetans are still routinely tortured and illegally imprisoned. The only Tibetan Buddhist Temples that are supported by the government are to serve as a Tourist attractions. Why is Tibetan Buddhism important? Why are there now centers for Tibetan Buddhism all over the world? To be considered a "religion" means having some sort of applied codes of conduct, ritual and belief. These are the external or "exoteric" forms of the religion and are necessary to have a coherent starting point for the seeker of truth or to apply positive values to a community and society. But the heart and inspiration of a religion is from the inner or "esoteric" practices such as prayer, meditation, visualization, and study.

Search in All Products Paintings Sculpture Jewelry Textiles Dolls Book Articles Sold Items Free Newsletter Register with us Sign In FAQs Ritual Implements in Tibetan Buddhism: A Symbolic Appraisal Article of the Month - June 2001 Some of the important ritual implements are: The Vajra or Thunderbolt, also known in Tibetan as dorje. The Bell, known in Sanskrit as the Ghanta, and in Tibetan as dril bu. The Phurpa (Ritual Dagger) The Skull Cup, known as kapala in Sanskrit. The Curved Knife or Chopper. The Vajra The Vajra is the quintessential symbol of Vajrayana Buddhism, which derives its name from the vajra itself. The Sanskrit term vajra means 'the hard or mighty one', and its Tibetan equivalent dorje means an indestructible hardness and brilliance like the diamond, which cannot be cut or broken. The vajra essentially symbolizes the impenetrable, immovable, immutable, indivisible, and indestructible state of enlightenment or Buddhahood. The form of the vajra as a scepter or a weapon appears to have its origin in the single or double trident, which arose as a symbol of the thunderbolt or lightning in many ancient civilizations of the Near and Middle East. Parallels are postulated with the meteoric hammer of the Teutonic sky-god Thor, the thunderbolt and scepter of the Greek sky-god Zeus, and the three thunderbolts of the Roman god Jupiter. As a hurled weapon the indestructible thunderbolt blazed like a meteoric fireball across the heavens, in a maelstrom of thunder, fire and lightning.

Tibetan and Mongolian 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.

You are here: Siddhartha's Intent Home Page Tibetan Buddhism in the West Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche October 2002 A friend of mine from New York recently sent me an email article titled "Is Tibetan Buddhism Working in the West?" Although my immediate reaction was somewhat defensive, I have to admit that the author made several worthwhile points. It might appear futile for me to add yet another point of view to this seemingly endless debate, but long before modern civilization celebrated free speech, the Buddha stressed respect for reasoning, and emphasized that we should examine a path rather than following it blindly. Yet, one can't help noticing that even in this so-called "modern age," blind faith is not only alive but kicking, even to the extent of people giving up their lives just because some priest has guaranteed their passage to heaven. It is not only important for us to exercise this freedom to examine the path and its authority, but we must also watch out for the cultural baggage that accompanies it. How much of this culture does one have to buy into? Does being a Westerner mean that one lacks the attributes to be a Buddhist? Or do the gurus have to compromise their teachings to fit into the West? These were some of the questions brought up in the email I received.
