	frontline: dreams of tibet: understanding tibetan buddhism: introduction
		Tibetan Buddhism has no gods in the Western sense of the term-the deities of Tibetan Buddhism are buddhas, literally "awakened ones," who in past lives were ordinary people, but who have transcended the ordinary through their meditations and realizations.
		When Tibetans chant a mantra associated with a particular buddha, they are not simply asking for the blessings and aid of the buddha-the final goal of the practice is to become buddhas themselves, since buddhas are sentient beings who have actualized the highest potential that we all possess.
		Tibetan Buddhism is a multilayered tapestry comprised of many different strands, and anyone hoping to write an introduction to this system is faced with the daunting task of sorting through centuries of history, huge amounts of textual material, and multiple lineages of teaching and practice.

	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.

		Tibetan Buddhism -- banned in its homeland, where the Chinese occupiers have destroyed 6,000 monasteries and killed a large number of the country's population -- seemed doomed to follow all conquered religions since the Incas and Aztecs into the ashbin of history.
		The Tibetan lamas, however, once they acclimatized to America, insisted there was nothing particularly Asian about their religion, and that it suited the present age as much as it did any supposedly golden past.
		Tibetan Buddhism could thus appeal to lapsed Christians and Jews who no longer attended church or temple and were left spiritually out in the cold, figuring out life's key puzzles on their own.

		The fundamental goal of Buddhism is to dispel the ignorance which is the root cause of our cyclic existence in Samsara: the lack of understanding of emptiness.
		The word in Tibetan for the removal of these obscurations, "sang," means "cleansing," and the word for the spreading of the inherent qualities of the mind that occurs as a result of that is "gye," or "increasing." "Sang-gye," these two words together, is the Tibetan word for a Buddha.

		Buddhism forms the core of Tibetan society and the main Buddhist schools of Gelukpa, Karma Kagyu, Nyingma and Sakya have done well in re-establishing themselves in the Indian subcontinent and in centers around the world.
		Tibetan Buddhism's growing "popularity" in the West has a lot to do with the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner, the Dalai Lama, and everybody from Hollywood actor Richard Gere to the Beastie Boys pop group jumping on the bandwagon.
		But when the Tibetan lamas were thrown into exile they brought with them not only their tried and tested tools to pursue enlightenment, they also brought monastic politics, cultural practices and struggles for power that do not always translate well under the scrutiny of the modern world.
