The origin of Tibetan Buddhism

The origin of Tibetan Buddhism can be traced back to 1800 years ago. Tibetan Buddhism was introduced into Tibet by the ancient Xiangxiong dynasty, because Indian Buddhism and Benbo Buddhism absorbed a lot of content from each other and developed separately.

Elephant male is the birthplace of "ancient elephant male Buddha". Rao Xin Miwo, the ancient elephant male prince, came to Buddha (the master of the "White Emperor" of Sakyamuni Buddha in his last life), and preached the "ancient elephant male Buddhism" in mercy to save all beings.

In fact, Ganzhuer written by Yong Benben is the origin and source of all Tibetan history, religion and culture. It is an extremely precious material for studying ancient Tibetan civilization, and it is also an important field that any Tibetan culture researcher can't bypass.

Today, many Tibetan customs and lifestyles have also been handed down from the Xiong Xiong era, such as turning to the sacred mountain, worshiping the sacred lake, inserting wind and horse flags, inserting colorful scriptures, carving stone scriptures, releasing Manidui, and divining fortune-telling, all of which reflect the legacy of this religion.

I. Theory

The characteristics of Tibetan Buddhism doctrine are: paying equal attention to learning Mahayana and Hinayana, revealing and cultivating secrets, paying equal attention to seeing and doing, and absorbing some characteristics of Bonism. Different inheritance, complicated ceremony and diverse images are the remarkable characteristics that distinguish Tibetan Buddhism from Han Buddhism. Xianzong said that Zhongzong is the most developed of the four cases: the Ministry, the classics, the only knowledge and the Zhongzong.

The discussion of the Dragon Tree Series is based on the theory of "gathering six principles in the right principle". After Zong Kaba's advocacy, The Theory of Entering China should be regarded as the most respected and become the representative work of the school. There are no Chinese versions of On the Solemnity of the View of Today and On Entering China, and there is no Tibetan translation of On Great Wisdom by Long Shu, which is one of the important differences between Tibetan Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism.

Tibetan esoteric religion is generally divided into four parts: the headquarters, the brigade, the yoga department and the supreme yoga department. Most sects use the supreme yoga department as their main practice method.

Second, inheritance.

There are two ways to inherit Tibetan Buddhism: mentoring, such as Ma Ning School, Kagyu School and Kagdang School. There are also family inheritance methods, such as Sakya Sect, which basically adopts the family inheritance method based on Kun's family. But the most distinctive thing is the reincarnation system of the living Buddha.

"The unity of politics and religion" is another major feature of Lamaism. Historically, most factions of Tibetan Buddhism were combined with certain political forces (including local power groups or family forces) to form a system of integration of politics and religion. Religion followed politics, and politics stood on the side of religion and depended on each other.

This system was formed in the period of Chizudezampu, Tibet, formally established in the period of Sakya Sect, and then continuously improved, reaching its peak after Gelug Sect took over the local political and religious power in Tibet. It was abolished during the democratic reform in Tibet from 65438 to 0959.
