	Tibetan Buddhism. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		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.
		The most dedicated Tibetan Buddhists seek nirvana, but for the common people the religion retains shamanistic elements.
		Buddhist writings were later translated from Sanskrit in two sections: the Kanjur [translated word], a collection of sacred texts, and the Tanjur [translated treatises], a collection of commentaries (see Buddhist literature).

		Lama means "spiritual teacher," and dalai is a Mongolian term signifying "ocean of wisdom." The title Dalai Lama was first given to the Tibetan lama Sonam Gyatso in the 16th century by a Mongolian prince, Altan Khan, the great-grandson of Genghis Khan.
		Tibetan Buddhists believe that the Dalai Lamas are an emanation of Chenrezig, the bodhisattva (altruistic being) of compassion, and reincarnate in a human form in order to be of service and help to other beings.
		For this reason, most Tibetan Buddhists hang photos of the Dalai Lama in their homes and pray to him daily.

	Kalachakra
		It is obligatory for a genuine Buddhist practitioner to “worship” his lama and to view him as being the very embodiment of the Dharma (Buddhist teaching) and therefore to view him as being a Buddha in a human form.
		Tibetan Buddhists say that the way people live their lives is very detrimental because people erroneously assume that they possess something within them that is inherently existent and non-changing.
		Buddhists talk rather about a ‘potential' that is carried forward, somewhat like the imprint that the boot leaves behind, or like a flame passing from one candle to the next.

		It's a remote corner of neighboring India where the Tibetan people, headed by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, are putting down roots, albeit shallow roots, in the hope of one day returning to their homeland.
		The tranquility of these re-created sacred spaces is in sharp contrast to the noise and jumble of Tibetan commerce on the other side of town, a dusty hillside village called Dharamsala.
		Tibetan refugees still arrive almost every day, desperate to get away from the starkly beautiful land they love, but a land now unbearable to them under Chinese rule.

	Chenrezig / Avalokiteshvara: Embodiment of Compassion in Tibetan Buddhism
		In the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon of enlightened beings, Chenrezig is renowned as the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.
		In the vajrayana Buddhist tradition, however, the blessing and the power and the superlative qualities of the enlightened beings are not considered as coming from an outside source, but are believed to be innate, to be aspects of our own true nature.
		Tibetan Buddhists often continue the mantra practice during ordinary activities, and they might also use a prayer wheel to amplify the benefit of the mantra.

	Central Doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism
		The Tibetan Buddhist thinkers see this theory of emptiness as an elaboration and refinement of the basic Buddhist theory of no-self, which lies at the heart of the Buddha's teaching of the Four Noble Truths.
		The Tibetan Buddhist traditions, in addition to perceiving themselves to be the upholders of the Mahayana teachings, identify themselves also as followers of Vajrayana, the so-called Adamantine vehicle.
		The heart of this meditation on Guru (the spiritual mentor) is to cultivate the perspective that enables the practitioner to view the nature of his or her own mind as being indivisible from that of the spiritual teacher and one's meditation deity.

	Buddhist near-death experiences
		The Tibetan Book of the Dead is ostensibly a book describing the experiences to be expected at the moment of death, during an intermediate phase lasting forty-nine days, and during rebirth into another bodily frame.
		This however is merely the esoteric framework which the Tibetan Buddhists used to cloak their mystical teachings.
		Tibetan lama Govinda indicates this clearly in his introduction when he writes: "It is a book for the living as well as for the dying." The book's esoteric meaning is often concealed beneath many layers of symbolism.
