Tibetan Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism is the form of Buddhism that developed in Tibet, combining Mahayana and Vajrayana teachings with distinctive monastic institutions. Under the Yuan Dynasty, Tibetan lamas received extraordinary privileges from Kublai Khan onward. Accounts of the Yuan Dynasty describe this period as decisive in the spread of Tibetan Buddhism into Mongolia and notes the Phagspa script created by the Tibetan lama Phagpa.
