Ancient secret mantra tradition; Ancient Tantra. Tantra was initially introduced into Tibet in the seventh century during the reign of King Songtsen Gampo and in the middle of the eighth century. During the reign of King Trisong Deutsan, Guru Padmasambhava visited Tibet and spread the tantric teach-Lngs widely through translating many tantric texts into Tibetan. In the tenth century Pandita Smrti Jnana and others came to Tibet and further carried out translation works of the doctrine and spread it extensively. The spreading of tantric doctrines in the history of Tibet is known as the Ancient Tantra.
