Features: This book has many characteristics. It narrates the foreign religions of India and Buddhism, the Bon religion of Tibet and Buddhism, as well as the Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism of the Chinese mainland, and the Buddhism of regions such as Mongolia and Uyghur. It provides a detailed account of the origins of their lineages and teachings, covering a very broad scope. In the narration of the history of Tibetan Buddhism, it is divided into the period of the "Previous Propagation" and the period of the "Later Propagation." During the Later Propagation period, there was frequent interaction between Buddhist practitioners from India, China, and Tibet. Although they all followed Buddhism, due to differences in their lineages, the scriptures they followed, and the methods of practice they taught, they evolved into various sects. The book provides a detailed account of the origins and teachings of each sect. As mentioned in the postscript of the book, such a comprehensive narration of religious history has never been seen in Tibet before.
