This dissertation explores the history of Tibetan-rite Buddhism in China, with a specific focus on how it was received, interpreted, organized, and reinvented by the people of China. Buddhism in Tibet already had its own monastic organization, rituals, scriptures, and meditation practices while forming a distinct religious tradition from Buddhism in the area we call China Proper today by the 11th century. When Tibetan monks entered "China Proper," they had to deal with the pre-existing Chinese Buddhist establishment. It is generally assumed that Tibetan Buddhism from Tibet formed a very different system of religion which the Chinese and westerners called Lamaism that was institutionally and doctrinally separate from Chinese Buddhism. However, this research attempt to show how the institution of "Lamaism" as an identity separate from general Buddhism in China only started to form in the Ming dynasty and matured during the Qing. Furthermore, before the 20th century, many of the central tenets of Tibetan Buddhism still have not been translated into Chinese. Therefore, the Chinese usually did not have a clear understanding of the doctrinal difference between Lamaism and Chinese Buddhism. This led to many misunderstandings of what Lamaism was, giving rise to both positive and negative stereotypes, neither of which reflected the normative Tibetan Buddhist tradition in Tibet itself nor the western and modern Chinese understandings of the term Lamaism. I will explore the background of this process as well as the relationship between ethnic identity and religious identity throughout different dynasties; namely how affiliation to Lamaism could potentially affect the perceived ethnic identity of that practitioner.
