Tibetan Mahayana
Tibetan Mahayana is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism emphasizing compassion, wisdom, and the path to enlightenment through meditation, ethical conduct, and ritual practices. It combines core teachings of Mahayana with unique Tibetan traditions, including visualization, sacred texts, and practices aimed at transforming the mind quickly and effectively. Tibetan Buddhism often involves spiritual guides (lamas), elaborate ceremonies, and devotion to compassionate figures like compassion and wisdom embodied as deities. Its goal is to achieve enlightenment not only for oneself but to help all beings attain liberation, integrating philosophical insights with rich spiritual rituals to foster compassion and wisdom in daily life.
