A form of Buddhism prevailing in the Tibet region of China, Bhutan, the state of Sikkim in India, Mongolia, and parts of Siberia and SW China.
It has sometimes been called Lamaism, from the name of the Tibetan monks, the lamas [superior ones].
The religion is derived from the Indian Mahayana form of Buddhism, but much of its ritual is based on the esoteric mysticism of Tantra and on the ancient shamanism and animism of Bon, an older Tibetan religion.
It is also called Tantrayana [tantra vehicle] or Vajrayana [vehicle of the thunderbolt].

AWAKENING - SELF EMPOWERMENT
................................................................
~ COURAGE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY ~
Ultimately, internal suffering is a daily practice imposed on one's self.
While the residues affect those around us, the delusion is that there is no other way to fix our self - other than escape. In contrast, suffering the physical pains of liberation is a small price to pay to settle one's mind.
Creating the conditions ourselves, purification enables the self to pass through the gateway. It seems to be no easy feat but simultaneously is an illusion that is easily broken - its success relies wholly on commitment, a skill we intimately know or have.
Surrender, most importantly intention, are the gems of our wealth. Worthy demands when pursued, they hold the keys to the greatest reward - of finding our true nature and happiness by means of self actualization.
