How did Tibetan Buddhism prevail in Manchu and Qing Dynasties?

Due to historical reasons, the position of Mongolians in the Qing Dynasty was second only to that of Manchu. In order to consolidate the political alliance between Manchu and Mongolia, the upper class of Manchu and Mongolia has always had the practice of intermarriage. Many emperors in Qing Dynasty were made queens by Mongolian Gege, such as Bolzigit, the empress of Huang Taiji, and sourdrang queen, a famous emperor in history, all of whom were Gege of Mongolian Horqin tribe. Because Mongols believe in Tibetan Buddhism (Lamaism), Lamaism was soon introduced to Manchu. Before entering the customs, the Qing Dynasty built the Shisheng Temple in Shengjing and often went to worship. After entering the customs, the Lama Temple was built in Beijing, and there are many Lama Palaces in chengde mountain resort. Buddhist gods have also been included in shaman sacrifices, and some Manchu people even named their children "Guanyin treasure" and "Bodhisattva treasure", which shows that their Buddhist beliefs have far-reaching influence among Manchu people.

Tibetan Buddhism, or Tibetan Buddhism, commonly known as Lamaism. Tibetan Buddhism is one of the three major Buddhist systems in China (Southern Buddhism, Han Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism). It calls itself "Buddhism" or "Inner Taoism" and has been called "Lamaism" in China literature since the Qing Dynasty.

Tibetan Buddhism has two meanings:

First, Buddhism was formed in Tibetan areas and spread through Tibetan areas, affecting other areas (such as Mongolia, Sikkim and Bhutan);

The second refers to Buddhism spread in Tibetan. For example, Mongolian, Naxi, Yugur, Tu and other ethnic groups teach, argue, recite and write in Tibetan even though they have their own languages or characters, so they are also called "Tibetan Buddhism".

Tibetan Buddhism began in the middle of the 7th century. When King Songtsan Gampo of Tibet married Nepalese Bhrikuti Devi and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, the two princesses brought an 8-year-old statue of Sakyamuni and a 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni, as well as a large number of Buddhist scriptures. Under the influence of the two princesses, Songzan Gambo converted to Buddhism and built Jokhang Temple and Jokhang Temple.

By the middle of the 8th century, Buddhism was introduced directly from India to Tibet. Tibetan Buddhism was formally formed in the second half of 10 century. /kloc-began to spread in Mongolia in the middle of 0/3rd century. In the next 300 years, various sects formed, and they generally believed in Tantric Buddhism. With the development of Buddhism in Tibet, the upper lamas gradually mastered the local political power, and finally formed a unique Tibetan Buddhism with the integration of politics and religion.

Potala Palace is the most famous Buddhist building in Tibet. It originated from the palace built for Princess Wencheng when she entered Tibet in the 7th century, but it was not completed until17th century.
