  1. The Origin of Tibetan Buddhism: A Journey Through History and Tradition The Origin of Tibetan Buddhism dates back to the 7th century when Buddhism was introduced to Tibet during the reign of King Songtsen Gampo. He played a crucial role in establishing Buddhism by inviting scholars from India and Nepal and promoting Buddhist teachings. However, the real foundation of Tibetan Buddhism was laid during the 8th century by Guru Padmasambhava, who is revered as the second Buddha in Tibet. The Origin of Tibetan Buddhism is deeply influenced by Indian Mahayana Buddhism and Tantric traditions. When Guru Padmasambhava arrived in Tibet, he combined these teachings with the indigenous Bon religion, creating a unique form of Buddhism that focused on rituals, meditation, and tantric practices. Over time, different schools of Tibetan Buddhism, such as Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug, emerged, each with its own teachings and lineage. The Origin of Tibetan Buddhism also saw a revival in the 11th century when Indian masters like Atisha traveled to Tibet, reinforcing Buddhist philosophy and discipline. Tibetan Buddhism flourished, producing great scholars, yogis, and spiritual leaders, including the Dalai Lama.
