	The Truth Behind Pre maoist Tibet : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The lamaist religion itself is exactly as old as feudal class society.
		It was a crime to "step out of your place"--like hunting fish or wild sheep that the lamaist declared were "sacred." It was even a crime for a serf to appeal his master's decisions to some other authority.
		Lamaists today tell the story of an ancient Tibetan king who wanted to close the gap between rich and poor.

		In addition to the dramatic masks on view, highlights of the exhibition include a complete shaman's outfit, paintings and nineteenth-century photography of the ceremonies, dances and plays in which the mask and accessories were used and which place the these objects in a cultural and historical context.

	Buddhism's Influence Stays Strong in Tibet
		The all-powerful Lamaist theocracy that long ruled Tibet has been transformed into a virtual museum-piece in the 20 years since an abortive rebellion here against Chinese control, but Lamaism still appears to retain a powerful hold on many Tibetans.
		The Government spent $450,000 in renovating and repainting 7,000 square yards of frescoes in the Jokka Kang and repairing the sacred gold-encrusted statue of the Buddha, known as Sakyamuni to Lamaist followers, according to the New China News Agency.
		Lamaist superstition, the Communists say, also prevented Tibet from developing industry and irrigated agriculture.

	USF Center for the Pacific Rim :: Pacific Rim Report No.36
		Indeed, in past centuries Western missionaries time and again took the perilous and time-consuming journey to the forbidden kingdom at the roof of the world, only to be frustrated by the poor number of native converts, to be expelled from the area, or even to be killed or to die.
		The friendly attitude of the king of Tibet towards Christianity remained steadfast, and in response to the Lamaist antagonism towards the Capuchins he issued a proclamation making it a penal offence to injure the missionaries or damage their property.
		Clearly, the 'standard' Chinese historical narratives that interpret the killing of foreign priests by the Tibetan lamas from the latter half of the nineteenth century onward as clear evidence of the Tibetan people's 'anti-imperialist' and patriotic behavior are inaccurate understandings of the genuine motivations of the people involved.

	Religion in Jammu & Kashmir
		Although the Islamic influence extends out of the Kashmir valley as far as Kargil in Ladakh, the predominant religion is overwhelmingly the Tibetan, Lamaist form of Buddhism.
		This Lamaist influence extends to the use of Tibetan script for the holy books of "Kandshur" and the clear Tibetan architectural influence, particularly evident in the design of the Leh Palace, which bears so many similarities to the larger "Potala" in Lhasa.
		At the pinnacle of the Lamaist pantheon is the divine trinity of Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri and Vajrapani, but there are an extraordinary number of other Gods and demons.

		It, like the other masks on view, is used in the Tsam ritual dance, a fascinating ceremonial dance of northern Asia that mixes magic with serious and comic components, performed by Lamaist monks around the New Year to destroy all the evil that has accrued during the past year.
		Lamaist Buddhism, which in Mongolia absorbed many of the culture's integral beliefs in shamanism, spurred the construction of great monasteries, the creation of exquisite religious artifacts and the institution of some of the most spectacular, yet little known, festivals in Asia.

		It was not until the sixteenth century that a second wave of Buddhist conversion began, brought about by the military expeditions of Allan Khan of the Tumet (1507-1583) into the eastern border districts of Tibet, which resulted in contacts with lamaist clerics.
		By 1629 many other lamaist works were translated into Mongolian, including the 1,161 volumes of the lamaist canon, the Bka'-'gyur (Kanjur).
		A century later there were about twelve hundred lamaist temples and monasteries in Inner Mongolia and more than seven hundred in the territory of the present-day Mongolian People's Republic.

		Lamaist Tibetans from the south and Manicheist Uighur from the north fought over the silk road strong points from which the Tang had retreated in the north-west.

		The easy-paced streetlife on its wide thoroughfares is countered by the frenzied construction going on in the background; modern cafes and restaurants are frequented by locals in traditional dress; and crumbling Soviet housing blocks are brightened by colorful Lamaist decorations.
		But away from the bustle of Sukhbaatar Square it is still possible to glimpse a more traditional side to the city -- particularly in the rich heritage of Lamaist Buddhism, the main religion in Mongolia.

	portland imc - 2003.12.22 - From a Tibetan in Exile "Monk niyma story" /Repost w/photo
		Tibetan Buddhism has a legacy of violence, hypocrisy, sexism, institutional sexual abuse, homophobia and religious rule by a dictator said to be a living god (the Dalai Lama) - all so the idle monk lifestyle could be supported by a feudal system of peasants who gave over half their labor/possessions.
		It is estimated there were about 10 million Tibetans 1,000 years ago when Buddhism was first introduced--by the time of the Maoist revolution there were only two or three million left.
		Taking criticism is a crucial step in maturity and self-improvement, and questioning oneself and ones own beliefs is a necessary part of living consciously.

	The Shadow of the Dalai Lama: Sexuality, Magic and Politics in Tibetan Buddhism, by Victor and Victoria Trimondi
		Nevertheless, an occult interconnection between the SS and Lamaist Tibet of the dimensions in which it is currently portrayed in a large number of neo-fascist and esoteric publications has to be described as a post facto construction.
		Strunk’s arguments (Zu Juda und Rom — Tibet, [To Juda and Rome — Tibet], 1937) are more far reaching; he tries to uncover a conspiracy of an international ecclesiastical elite (with members from all the world religions) with the living Buddha, the Dalai Lama from Lhasa as their visible head.
		But the myth that leading national socialist figures had maintained a connection to Lamaist sects (the “Berlin — Lhasa axis”) has survived to this day and is the topic of a voluminous occult Literature.

	"Americans Need Something to Sit On," or Zen Meditation Materials and Buddhist Diversity in North America
		Among pages touting the virtues of the "Zen alarm clock" (which awakens you gently to the sound of its "Tibetan bell-like chime"), Japanese incense, Buddhist mood music, and hundreds of books (not to mention Buddhist investment schemes, educational opportunities, and vacation plans), some of the most prominent advertisements are those for meditation cushions.
		Members of the Russian Lamaist Order apparently see themselves as belonging to the local, American branch of a Russo-Siberian tradition of central Asian Buddhism—something akin to Mongolian or Tibetan Buddhism.
		But, as if that were not complicated enough, the leader of the group has a Japanese title and the cushions depicted in the ad are of a style used in East Asia.

		By relating the events leading to the Red Army entering Tibet and the visit to Beijing by the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, you have shown the initial cooperation between the Lamaist leadership and Beijing to forge a united China.
		One welcoming news I read a few months ago was that Tibetan girls have been trained as air stewardess, and this will broaden the horizon for less psychological dependence on the Lama priesthood.
		Young Tibetans should travel all over China and the world to compare traditional Lamaist suffocation with the freedom of the individual.
