Original Religion and Tibetan Buddhism A Fateful Clash in History | BUDDHIST TEACHINGS
The fateful clash between original religion (often referring to the indigenous spiritual traditions of Tibet, known as Bön) and Tibetan Buddhism is a significant chapter in Tibetan history. It represents a cultural and religious conflict that played a crucial role in shaping the religious landscape of Tibet.
The Origins of Bön and Tibetan Buddhism
Bön: The Bön religion is believed to be Tibet’s indigenous belief system, predating the introduction of Buddhism to Tibet. It includes a mixture of animism, shamanism, and a focus on ritualistic practices, deities, and spiritual healing. Its core teachings were deeply connected to the land and the spiritual powers of nature. Bön was not a unified tradition at first but was instead a collection of practices and beliefs centered on the worship of spirits, local deities, and the maintenance of harmony between humans and the supernatural world.
Tibetan Buddhism: Buddhism entered Tibet around the 7th century, primarily through the efforts of King Songtsen Gampo, who sent emissaries to bring Buddhist teachings from India and China. Tibetan Buddhism grew rapidly, especially during the reign of King Trisong Detsen in the 8th century, who invited Indian scholars like Padmasambhava and Shantarakshita to help establish Buddhism in Tibet. Over time, Tibetan Buddhism evolved into distinct schools, including the Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug traditions.
