		The Tibetan resistance movement began with isolated resistance to Chinese occupation in the late 1950s.

	Tibetan Buddhism - an introduction of the Pre-Bon, Mahayana Buddhist and Tantric foundations of Buddhism in Tibet
		Ideologically Tibetan Buddhism is a derivation of Mahayana Buddhism heavily influenced by Tantrism.
		With the rise of the first Tibetan Kings at the beginning of the first millennium, this widespread Pre-Bön Religion was co-opted to legitimise kingly rule.
		As a result Tibetan Buddhism amalgamates both elitist and populist traditions to satisfy the different requirements of its two audiences as well as to respond to both religious and mythological dimensions of the Tibetan psyche.

		Tibetans living outside Tibet accuse the Chinese government of encroaching on their culture and traditions, but the Chinese government claims that Tibetan culture is preserved and flourishing as it allowed to develop.
		But much as weith the American support of the mujahadeen resisting the Russian Army in Afghanistan and the Shiites resisting the regime of Saddam Hussein after the first Gulf War, the resistance movement was crushed when the United States ended its support of the Tibetans.

		Their movement was based in a critique of what they regarded as the cold, empty forms of their state churches; they sought to return to a religion of the heart, a religion of piety and discipline and community.
		The movement’s beginning is usually traced to Kate and Margaret Fox, who heard rapping noises in their home in Hydesville, New York, and claimed to develop a system of communication with the disembodied source of the noises.

		Buddha’s Warriors is the story of the tens of thousands of Tibetans who violently resisted the bloody occupation of their country and the desecration of all that was holy to them.
