History of the Beginning of Buddhism in Sikkim

Author(s) Sunita Kharel
Country India
Abstract The beginning of Buddhist faith in Sikkim may be traced back to the middle of the 17th century when Phuntsog Namgyal was consecrated as the ruler of the land as Dharma raja with both temporal and spiritual powers. It is believed that in the middle of the 8th century, Padma Sambhava also known as Guru Rimpoche travelled to Tibet and Sikkim and blessed the land. The land is recognized as sacred ever since and also blessed by the great Buddhist saints and the lamas. Immediately after becoming the ruler of the land, the king set himself to the task of administrative and religious reforms.
