Early Tibetan religious history is written in terms of the Yar-lung Dynasty (7th-9th Centuries C.E.) when Central Tibetan bTsan-pos ("Emperors") adopted the Buddhist faith. When this dynasty collapsed in 842 C.E. and its lineal descendants resurfaced some one hundred years later in Western Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism also experienced a renaissance. Yet it is not mere coincidence that Western Tibet provided fertile ground for Buddhism's rebirth. Before Buddhism's arrival and without its own written history, Western Tibet's contribution to the overall history of Tibet is hard to establish, but the importance of its early traditions to Tibetan religious history is undeniable.

520 $a Early Tibetan religious history is written in terms of the Yar-lung Dynasty (7th-9th Centuries C.E.) when Central Tibetan bTsan-pos ("Emperors") adopted the Buddhist faith. When this dynasty collapsed in 842 C.E. and its lineal descendants resurfaced some one hundred years later in Western Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism also experienced a renaissance. Yet it is not mere coincidence that Western Tibet provided fertile ground for Buddhism's rebirth. Before Buddhism's arrival and without its own written history, Western Tibet's contribution to the overall history of Tibet is hard to establish, but the importance of its early traditions to Tibetan religious history is undeniable.
520 $a Through the careful examination of four distinct "traditions" (as distinguished from "religions") which have deep roots in the Kailasa/Gangs Tise region, sources for an early tradition of Kailasa are established. Mythological and historical events are outlined which contribute to the development of a single tradition, one that cuts across sectarian differences. Further examination of two 19th Century Tibetan guidebooks (dkar chag) to the Kailasa region reveals the mountain as a rich source, a manifestation of the sacred, the supreme mountain among mountains acting as a source for all later traditions of Kailasa.
520 $a The presence of Kailasa as the home of all three of the great deities of Bon, Buddhism, and Hinduism demonstrates this sacred mountain's neutralizing effect as a collective place for worship and meditation. Recognizing the co-existence of these "Tise traditions," it comes as no surprise that the ground was prepared for a highly organized monastic Buddhism to take root later on in the 11th-12th Centuries. Historical issues aside, the final revelation of the mountain's lasting and sacred power forms the basis to all the traditions--folk, Buddhist, Bon, or Hindu--and it is this sacred power that transforms the mountain into a "hierophany," a sacred source. Through the eyes of the typical Kailasa pilgrim, just as in this exhaustive study of the mountain, there are ultimately no differences, only the mountain's illuminating qualities.
