The 4 Buddhist Lineages of Tibet Buddhism was known in Tibet as early as the 6th century A.D. There are four main schools of Mahayana Buddhism in Tibet and they are the Nyingmapa, the Sakyapa, the Kadampa (later absorbed into the Gelugpa) and Kagyupa. All these schools share the basic teachings of the Buddha and have the same objective. The differences between them are both historical, as they each stem from a different saintly founder, and practical, as the techniques of each school are variously suited to different types of beings seeking Enlightenment. |
