<hr />
<div>The '''Tibetan Buddhist canon''' is a loosely defined list of sacred texts recognized by various sects of [[Tibetan Buddhism]]. <br />
<br />
In addition to earlier foundational [[Buddhist]] texts from [[hinayana|early Buddhist]] schools, mostly the [[Sarvastivada]], and [[mahayana]] texts, the Tibetan canon includes [[Tantra|Tantric]] texts. <br />
<br />
The Tibetan Canon underwent a final compilation in 14th Century by Bu-ston (1290-1364). The Tibetans did not have a formally arranged Mahayana canon and so devised their own scheme which divided texts into two broad categories:<br />
<br />
#Kanjur ([[bka' 'gyur]]) or "Translated Words", consists of works supposed to have been said by the Buddha himself. All texts presumably have a sanskrit original, although in many cases the Tibetan text was translated from Chinese or other languags. <br />
#Tanjur ([[bstan 'gyur]]) or "Translated Treatises" is the section to which were assigned commentaries, treatises and abhidharma works (both Mahayana and non-Mahayana). The Tanjur contains 3626 texts in 224 Volumes.<br />
<br />
The [[bka' 'gyur]] is divided into sections on [[Vinaya]], Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, other sutras (75% [[Mahayana]], 25% Early Wisdom Schools aka [[Hinayana]]), and [[tantra]]s. When exactly the term [[bka' 'gyur]] was first used is not known. Collections of canonical Buddhist texts existed already in the time of [[Khri srong ide rtsan]], the sixth king of [[Tubo]]. <br />
<br />
The exact number of texts in the [[bka' 'gyur]] is not fixed, each editor takes responsibility for removing texts he considers spurious, and adding new translations. Currently there are about 12 available [[bka' 'gyur]]. These include the Derge, Lhasa, Narthang, Cone, Peking, Ugra, Phudrak, and Stog Palace versions, each named after the physical location of its printing. In addition some canonical texts have been found in Tabo and Dunhuang which provide earlier exemplars to texts found in the [[bka' 'gyur]]. All extant [[bka' 'gyur]]s appear to stem from the Old Narthang [[bka' 'gyur]]. The stemma of the [[bka' 'gyur]] have been well researched in particular by [[Helmut Eimer]]. <br />
<br />
== Exoteric tradition ==<br />
<br />
In the Tibetan tradition, some collections of teachings and practices are held in greater secrecy than others. The sutra tradition is comprised of works said to be derived from the public teachings of the Buddha, and is taught widely and publicly. The esoteric tradition of [[tantra]] (below) is generally only shared in more intimate settings with those students who the teacher feels have the capacity to utilize it well.<br />
<br />
=== Important Indian scholars ===<br />
<br />
==== Two Supremes ====<br />
<br />
Two Indian Buddhist scholars are widely considered to be of paramount importance by Tibetan Buddhists. As such, they are referred to as the ''Two Supremes''.<br />
<br />
* [[Asanga]] founder of the [[Yogacara|Yogachara school]]<br />
* [[Nagarjuna]] founder of the [[Madhyamaka|Madhyamika school]]<br />
<br />
==== Six Scholarly Ornaments ====<br />
<br />
These scholars's works are of secondary importance to the Tibetan Buddhist canon. As the ranking of their importance is not as universally recognized, there are occasionally substitutions made in this list.<br />
<br />
* [[Aryadeva]] foremost disciple of Nagarjuna, continued the philosophical school of [[Madhyamika]]<br />
* [[Dharmakirti]] famed logician, author of the ''Seven Treatises''; student of Dignana's student Ishvarasena; said to have debated famed Hindu scholar [[Shankara]]<br />
* [[Dignana]] famed logician<br />

* [[Sakyaprabha]] prominent expositor of the [[Vinaya]]<br />
* [[Vasubandhu]] author of the [[Abhidharmakosha|''Abhidharmakosha'']]<br />

[[Image:JetsunMila.jpg|thumb|Jetsun Milarepa (1040-1123)]]<br />
Famed yogi and patriarch of the [[Kagyu]] lineage. One of the most famous yogis and poets in Tibetan religious history. Most of the teachings of the [[Kagyu]] schools passed through him. He was the main disciple of [[Marpa]], the translator. His two main students were his “sun-like” disciple [[Gampopa]] and his “moon-like“ disciple [[Rechungpa]]. The picture shows one of three very old and sacred statues of [[Milarepa]] which are kept in [[Lapchi]] ([[la phyi]]), one of the places where [[Milarepa]] stayed for a long time meditating in various caves. This particular one belonged to [[Tsang Nyon Heruka]] ([[gtsang smyon he ru ka]]), (1452-1507) who compiled and published [[Milarepa]]’s biography ([[mi la rnam thar]]) and spiritual songs ([[mi la mgur 'bum]]) while doing retreat in [[Lapchi]] in 1488.<br />

===Short Bio===<br />
[[Milarepa]] (1040-1123) was born in the Iron Dragon year of the first sexagenary cycle in a place called Kya Ngatsa in Gungtang in Upper Tibet. He first learned black magic and killed many enemies. Later, feeling remorse for his negative actions, he went to [[Lhodrak]] to meet the great [[Marpa]] Rinpoché. For about six years and eight months, [[Marpa]] made him undergo great hardship for the sake of the Dharma, such as building a nine storey tower, before he finally granted him all the empowerments and instructions. At the age of forty-five, in the Wood Mouse year (1084), he went to Upper Tibet, and for nine years, moved through Kyirong and Nyal. There he endured hardships, such as wearing only a simple cotton cloth and sustaining himself on nettles, and meditated with such fierce determination that he gained the supreme accomplishment within that very lifetime. Then he went to other places, coming and going, giving instructions of the Secret Mantra to those who were worthy disciples, and composing many songs of realisation. Among the many students he produced were [[Rechungpa]] and Dagpo Lhajé ([[Gampopa]]). He upheld the lineage of practice of [[Marpa|Marpa Rinpoche]], while Ngog Chöku Dorje, Tsurtön Wangi Dorje and Meton Tsonpo--who together with Milarepa form "The four great pillars" or main disciples of [[Marpa|Marpa Lotsawa]]--upheld the scriptural lineage,. Finally, in the Water Hare year of the second sexagenary cycle, he departed. <br />

[[Image:JetsunMila.jpg|thumb|Jetsun Milarepa (1040-1123)]]<br />
Famed yogi and patriarch of the [[Kagyu]] lineage. One of the most famous yogis and poets in Tibetan religious history. Most of the teachings of the [[Kagyu]] schools passed through him. He was the main disciple of [[Marpa]], the translator. His two main students were his “sun-like” disciple [[Gampopa]] and his “moon-like“ disciple [[Rechungpa]]. The picture shows one of three very old and sacred statues of [[Milarepa]] which are kept in [[Lapchi]] ([[la phyi]]), one of the places where [[Milarepa]] stayed for a long time meditating in various caves. This particular one belonged to [[Tsang Nyon Heruka]] ([[gtsang smyon he ru ka]]), (1452-1507) who compiled and published [[Milarepa]]’s biography ([[mi la rnam thar]]) and spiritual songs ([[mi la mgur 'bum]]) while doing retreat in [[Lapchi]] in 1488.<br />

===Short Bio===<br />
[[Milarepa]] (1040-1123) was born in the Iron Dragon year of the first sexagenary cycle in a place called Kya Ngatsa in Gungtang in Upper Tibet. He first learned black magic and killed many enemies. Later, feeling remorse for his negative actions, he went to [[Lhodrak]] to meet the great [[Marpa]] Rinpoché. For about six years and eight months, [[Marpa]] made him undergo great hardship for the sake of the Dharma, such as building a nine storey tower, before he finally granted him all the empowerments and instructions. At the age of forty-five, in the Wood Mouse year (1084), he went to Upper Tibet, and for nine years, moved through Kyirong and Nyal. There he endured hardships, such as wearing only a simple cotton cloth and sustaining himself on nettles, and meditated with such fierce determination that he gained the supreme accomplishment within that very lifetime. Then he went to other places, coming and going, giving instructions of the Secret Mantra to those who were worthy disciples, and composing many songs of realisation. Among the many students he produced were [[Rechungpa]] and Dagpo Lhajé ([[Gampopa]]). He upheld the lineage of practice of [[Marpa|Marpa Rinpoche]], while Ngog Chöku Dorje, Tsurtön Wangi Dorje and Meton Tsonpo--who together with Milarepa form "The four great pillars" or main disciples of [[Marpa|Marpa Lotsawa]]--upheld the scriptural lineage,. Finally, in the Water Hare year of the second sexagenary cycle, he departed. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''Shamar Rinpoche''' ([[zhwa dmar]]), an important lineage of [[Karma Kagyu]] masters very closely associated with the Karmapas. The masters of the Shamar lineage, and others, are responsible for the continuation of the [[Karma Kagyu]] lineage in the absence and during the minority of the Karmapas. They were in the posession of a red crown, much like the black crown of the Karmapas, hence the name Shamar - Red Hat. Their seat was the monastery of [[Yangpachen]] ([[dpal yangs pa can]]) until it was impounded and converted by the Lhasa government. There is much political controversy around the lineage of the Shamar Rinpoches.<br><br />
<br />
*A. [[bkra shis grags pa]] (d.1282) Even though he is counted among the lineage of the Shamar, it is only the next one that was officially named as the '1st' Shamar Rinpoche<br><br />
*[[1st Shamar Rinpoche]], [[grags pa seng ge]] (1283-1349)<br><br />
*[[2nd Shamar Rinpoche]], [[mkha' spyod dbang po]] (1350-1405)<br><br />
*[[3rd Shamar Rinpoche]], [[chos dpal ye shes]] (1406-1452)<br><br />
*[[4th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[chos grags ye shes]] (1453-1524)<br><br />
*[[5th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[dkon mchog yan lag]], (1525-1583)<br><br />
*[[6th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[gar dbang chos kyi dbang phyug]] (1584-1630)<br><br />
*[[7th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[ye shes snyin po]] (1631-1694)<br><br />
*[[8th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[dpal chen chos kyi don grub]] (1695-1732)<br><br />
*[[9th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[dkon mchog dge ba'i 'byung gnas]], (1733?-1741)<br><br />
*[[9th Shamar Trizur]], [[zhwa dmar khri zur gar dbang rgya mtsho]], (b.1735?). For very unclear political reasons he had to 'abdicate' the throne of the Shamar lineage, hence the name [[khri zur]], and went into life-long retreat. Nothing more seems to be known about him but that he became an exceptionally realized master.<br />
*[[10th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[chos grub rgya mtsho]], also known as [[dkon mchog chos kyi nyi ma]] (1742-1792). Because of the alleged complicity of Chodrub Gyatso in the Nepalese invasion of Tibet, his monastery Yangpachen and the entire property of the Shamar Labrang ([[bla brang]]) were impounded by the Lhasa goverment. The recognition of further reincarnations of Shamar Tulku was prohibited. Therefore there is a large gap in years between the 10th and 11th incarnations. Apparently incarnations did appear, but were not officially recognized and lived out there lives in seclusion. They were exceptionally accomplished masters. The [[16th Karmapa]] commented on this period: "Merit was becoming smaller and smaller. There was much political interference. Black was becoming white. The real was becoming unreal. At that time it was not practicable [sic] to have any Shamarpa recognised or enthroned. Everything was kept secret. The incarnations appeared, but were not revealed"<br><br />
*[[11th Shamar Rinpoche]], [['jam dbyangs rin po che]] (a son of the [[15th Karmapa]] Kakhyab Dorje, d.1947?)<br><br />
*[[12th Shamar Rinpoche]], an infant who was never named, (b.1948?)<br><br />
*[[13th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[mi pham smra ba'i go cha]], (b.1952)<br><br><br />
