| 摘要 | The study intends to develop a deep understanding of the cultural and religious connections between Bengal and Tibet from 7th Century C.E onwards with the rise of tantric pantheon. Bengal tantric schools specifically Śakti sādhanā, has a deep influence on the yogīc traditions of Tibet and has contributed towards the rise of the mātrikā cults such as the cult of goddess Tārā and other dākinīs. Various cultural and religious appropriations happened between Bengal tantric traditions and the Vajrāyāna traditions of Tibet, specifically with the remarkable contributions of Indian yogī Saraha, in the Sahajayāna School recognized as the rise of the Saṃvara lineage and the great master Atīśa Dīpaṃkara Śrījñāna who established the Kadampa tradition and contributed deeply towards the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. The paper would further examine the origin and the spread of the Mahāmudrā teachings through the lens of the spiritual accomplishments and teachings of the great Indian mahasiddhas such as Saraha, Tilopa and Atīśa Dīpaṃkara Śrījñāna. In this respect the paper will also trace the contribution of the two great mahaviharas Nālandā and Vikramaśīla in the rise of esoteric tantric traditions. The paper throws light on the underplaying factors that contributed towards the deep bonds between Bengal and Tibet thereby further establishing the Guru-chela relation between India and Tibet. Both Tibet and India are worshippers of the mother goddess Tārā. The cult of the mother goddess created a deep link between the Bengal Kaulā traditions and the Vajrayoginī cults of Tibet. The guru-chela relation between India and Tibet is mainly attributed to the contributions of the three masters Nālandā abbot Śāntarakṣita, Guru Padmasambhava and Atīśa Dīpaṃkara Śrījñāna who established dharma in Tibet. It must be noted that all the Bengal Buddhist masters are from a very early age deeply influenced by the śaktisādhanā of Bengal which was later their contribution to Tibet. |
