Approach to the Rohtang Pass from the Kullu Valley in Himachal Pradesh
How Buddhism Came to TibetDuring the years I lived above Old Manali in the foothills of the Himalayas,we took a Jeep over the Rohtang Pass25 which rises at the head of the Kullu valleyof India and climbs up onto the high Tibetan Plateau and Ladakh.We traveled across the high desert of the Ladakhi plateau to Leh, the ancientTibetan trading city of the Silk Road that once stretched from China to Europe,driving over several 17,500 ft passes, some of the highest in the world.We visited ancient Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, for Ladakh is all that remainsof Tibet that has not been occupied by the Chinese.The very first Tibetan Buddhist monastery built in Ladakh is called Samye and itstill stands today near the banks of the Brahmaputra river. It owes its constructionto the same Padmasambhava who appeared in Rewalsar and whose story inRewalsar we have already heard. How Samye monastery came to be built holds a fascinating part of the story ofPadmasambhava and offers insight into understanding Tibetan TantricBuddhism.
