Features: This book will review the four internal aspects of the history of Tibetan Buddhism and explore the mysteries behind the wonders. History tells us that the progress of Tibetan Buddhism today is inevitable. All religious self-reports turn some myths into history and some history into myths. Many eminent monks of Tibetan Buddhism have written extensively, leaving behind a wealth of valuable historical materials. Future generations should deeply thank them for this. However, some people, in their writings, claim that Indians are the ancestors of the Tibetan people and deny the fact that Indian Buddhism, after being introduced to the snowland, was Tibetanized. They alter history and fabricate myths. The two methods of mythologizing history and mythologizing the myth have made the self-reported history of Tibetan Buddhism both real and unreal, obscure and confusing. This book will dispel the fog of myths and focus on the true history. That is to say, this book will objectively review the history of the essential content of Tibetan Buddhism based on the general laws of the origin and development of religion. This kind of historical exploration has long been engaged in by scholars both at home and abroad, yielding fruitful results. This book draws on the achievements of past and present scholars and adds its own reflections, sharing them with interested readers and spreading the teachings widely.
