Tibetan Buddhism is a form of Buddhism that developed in Tibet and the surrounding Himalayan region. It is based on the teachings of the Buddha, as well as the Tibetan translations of Indian Buddhist texts and the teachings of Tibetan masters. The goal of Tibetan Buddhism is the attainment of enlightenment, or the realization of one's true nature and the end of suffering. This is seen as a process of purification and transformation, in which practitioners cultivate mindfulness and insight in order to gain a deeper understanding of the impermanent and interconnected nature of all things. Tibetan Buddhism is known for its use of various meditation techniques and visualizations, as well as its emphasis on the cultivation of compassion and the practice of devotion. It also places a strong emphasis on the role of the guru, or spiritual teacher, in the spiritual path.

Tibetan Buddhism is practiced by millions of people around the world and is divided into various schools and traditions, such as the Nyingma, Kagyu, Gelug, and Sakya. Each of these traditions has its own unique practices and teachings.
