Tibetian Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism is a spiritual tradition that combines Indian Buddhism with local Tibetan beliefs. It emphasizes compassion, meditation, and the pursuit of enlightenment through practices like rituals, mantras, and spiritual teachings. Central to Tibetan Buddhism are the concepts of karma and rebirth, aiming to free individuals from the cycle of suffering. It also features the unique role of spiritual leaders called Lamas, including the Dalai Lama, who guide practitioners on their spiritual journey. The tradition values monastic discipline, philosophical study, and meditation as means to achieve wisdom, compassion, and ultimate liberation.
