Tibetan Buddhism
TIBETAN ESOTERIC BUDDHISM. Li Jicheng*. Five Buddhas and five wisdoms is one of the major doctrines of the Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism.
http://omni.cc.purdue.edu/~wtv/tibet/tbuddha.html

Extractions: Editor's note:The Tibetan Buddhism is Great Vehicle (Mahayana) Buddhism. There are two parts of it: the Exoteric and the Esoteric Buddhisms. The Tibetan Exoteric Buddhism is based on Madhyamika (dBu-ma, `middle way') of Nagarjuna. The Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, which is different from all other Esoteric Buddhisms, makes the Tibetan Buddhism unique. The Tibetan Buddhism requests the study of the Exoteric Buddhism as the foundation and puts the Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism as the most advanced form of Buddhism. We assume that our visitors have a basic knowledge of the Exoteric Buddhism. The doctrine of the Tibetan Esoteric (i.e. Tantric) Buddhism is based on `Mahavairocana-sutra', and `Kalacakraindriya-sutra'. Its theory may be summarized as follows: "taking the six elements as essence", "five Buddhas and five wisdoms", "taking the four mandalas as appearance", "taking the three secrets as means", "cause, base, final means" and "anger and fear". "Taking the six elements as essence" is the Esoteric interpretation of the origin of the cosmos. According to the Esoteric Buddhism, the six elements, the earth, water, fire, wind, air and ether ( consciousness), make up the dhamakaya (cosmic body) of the Mahavairocana. They provide the nature of all creation and are at once the source and the foundation of the existence of all phenomena. As they are possessed by all beings in the universe, they exist in the mind of the laity. This is the something Buddha shares with the layman. However, according to the Esoteric Buddhism, the laity are incapable of recognizing the nature of cosmic beings, "unless they are aided by the supreme benevolent power of the Tathagata", which means the practice of "the three secrets" is necessity if one wishes to purify one's mind and recognize the nature of all cosmic beings.

Extractions: About Us Schedules Drum Team Eagle Dance ... Shambhala Tibetan Buddhism Tibetan Buddhism stems from the influence of two major sources, Buddhism and yoga. Initially brought to Tibet by Padmasambhava in the 8th Century, Tibetan Buddhism incorporates both Hindu yogic and Tantra practices as well as the classical teachings of The Buddha . It concentrates on the removal of suffering from all beings, with the understanding that no one person can alleviate individual suffering until all other beings have been liberated from it as well. The path of traditional Buddhism is based on morality, concentration, wisdom, and denunciation of the personal ego. The second path, the Tantric path, is the cornerstone of Tibetan Buddhism, blending the Buddhist sutra (sacred text) teachings with those of the Hindu yoga and Tantra. The Tantric path seeks to transform basic human passions of desire and aversion into spiritual growth and development. Thus, instead of denying primal sexual and sensual urges as in traditional Buddhism, the practice of Tantra accepts these urges as sacred life force energy, which is purified and transformed into wholesome and healthy forces connecting the individual with higher spiritual awareness. In order to be successful with Tantric work, one must have skill in both self-control and acceptance of self and others. Tibetan Tantra, also known as Vajrayana, draws on the core teachings of both Mahayana and Hinayana, two schools of Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the help that the gods and the bodhisattvas can give to people to help them escape samsara, the continual cycle of death and rebirth. Mahayana doctrines teach selflessness, the bodhisattva stages, perfections and prayers to achieve perfect alignment for the sake of all sentient beings. Hinayana, sometimes called the little way," emphasizes personal emancipation rather than being concerned with the burdens of others. While those who practice Hinayana initially do not do so with the intent of obtaining Buddhahood, eventually this path too may lead to Mahayana and enlightenment.

http://www.palyul.org/nyingma.html

Extractions: The Palyul Lineage is part of the Nyingma School , which is the oldest tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Its origins go back to the eighth century reign of the Dharma King Trisong Deutsen in Tibet. During this time, with the help of Acharya Padmasambhava and Bodhisativa Shantarakshita, the teachings of Sakyamuni Buddha and commentaries of the Indian scholars of Nalanda University were translated in very pure form at Samye, the first Tibetan monastery. This photo is an image of Padmasambhava at Samye Monastery today. The Nyingma teachings are uniquely categorized in nine yanas, or vehicles. The main practices are emphasized in the three inner tantras of Maha Yoga, Anu Yoga, and Ati Yoga. Ati Yoga is also known as the Great Perfection, Dzogpa Chenpo, or simply as Dzogchen. The practice of Dzogchen is the heart of the Nyingma tradition. It is the most ancient and direct stream of wisdom within the teachings of Buddhism. Mipham Rinpoche (1846-1912), one of the greatest scholars and masters of Tibet, wrote: "Crowning the banner of the complete teaching of Buddha is the beautiful ornament of the clear light teachings of Dzogpa Chenpo."

Extractions: - the Art of Tibetan Divination. Since the beginning of time human beings have sought to find what the future holds for them and how they should be guided in their actions when their understanding of events is unclear or obscured. This search has given rise to the art of Divination - discerning or discovering future events or unknown things. In Central Asia many different forms of divination have evolved over thousands of years, particularly within shamanic communities. Tibetan Buddhism drew upon its shamanic pre-history to establish a form of divination that is driven by the power and wisdom of the teachings of the Buddha - Mo. Mo is a form of divination widely used within all four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism with Lamas routinely offering some form of Mo divination as an aspect of their pastoral service.

Extractions: in Science Fiction The Dalai Lama of the near future, a Harvard-educated woman named Sattva, is one of the main characters of Goonan's The Bones of Time This annotated bibliography list, a subset derived from the Adherents.com Religion in Literature database, is intended as a resource for literary research. It lists mainstream science fiction and fantasy novels, short stories and movies (speculative fiction) which contain references to the Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhism and/or Tibet in general. It is not necessarily a comprehensive list of such literature, but all Hugo- and Nebula-winning novels have been indexed. This list does not necessarily include every reference to Tibetan Buddhism within each work. Each novel or story is listed only once, with a brief explanation or sample quote. Most works include only one reference, which is given. If a work contains multiple references, this is noted in the listing. Additional references are listed in the main database. Although numerically much smaller than the two major branches of Buddhism (Theravada and Mahayana), Tibetan Buddhism is one of the best known forms of Buddhism in the West. This is due in part to the pacifistic resistance of the Tibetans to Chinese occupation of Tibet, and to the prominence of the current Dalai Lama. Many films have been made focusing on Tibetan Buddhism. In the minds of many Westerners, Buddhism is synonymous with the Tibetan form, even though there are only approximately 6 million adherents (less than 2% of all Buddhists in the world).

Tibetan Buddhism, The Mongolian Religion
tibetan buddhism, The Mongolian Religion. These factors combined to furtherthe spread of tibetan buddhism among the Mongolian nobles.
http://www.innermongolia.org/english/tibetan_buddhism.htm

Extractions: Regardless of what explanation monks or clergymen may give regarding religion, it is a phenomenon of human culture and society. As for the reasons why nations adopt a particular foreign religion, they may explain it as a destiny set by God, as the will of Heaven, or due to other affinities. Nevertheless, there are historical and cultural factors. These factors provide some explanation as to why the Mongols, at the peak of their power, adopted Tibetan Buddhism as their religious faith. The Mongolian Khan's choice of this religion seems to have been based on cultural similarities between the Mongols and the Tibetans, and their mutual distance-geographical and culturalfrom the Chinese. Both Mongolia and Tibet are high plateaus of Inner Asia, and their open steppes and cold, arid climate make them well-suited to nomadism. On account of similarities in their geographic circumstances, both Tibet and Mongolia developed a similar cultural style: Nomadic pastoralism. It was thus, easier for the Mongols to mingle with seminomadic Tibetans than with purely agricultural Chinese, who were far different in their social and cultural institutions. Before the Tibetans were converted to Buddhism, their original religious belief was known as Bon, a faith similar to Boe of the Mongols. This historical background may also indicate that Tibetan Buddhism, that fit so naturally into the culture of the "!and of Snows", was also more easily accepted by the Mongols than Sinicised Buddhism, which had naturally accommodated itself to an agricultural civilisation.
