Sakya
(also Shakya), an ancient Ksatriyan oligarchic republic and tribe in the Nepalese Terai. The city of Kapilavastu was the capital of the republic. According to tradition, Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, belonged to the Sakya tribe; he is sometimes called Sakyamuni, or sage of the Sakya. Since his first followers were also Sakya and constituted the nucleus of the first Buddhist monastic community, the tribe’s name is sometimes used to refer to Buddhist monks in general.

No references found | 00 Hardcover DS785 The transmission of early Tantric manuscripts through the writings of A-mes-zhabs, a seventieth century collector of Sakyapa tradition in India and Tibet is presented here. He has divided the Sakyapa into (1) Sakyapa, (2) Ngorpa, (3) Jonangpa. The resulting resistance caused Tibetan Buddhism to break into separate schools - the Kadampa, which followed Atisha's views; the Kargyupa and Sakyapa, which wanted to retain more of the traditional Tibetan deities; and the Nyingmapa, or Old Sect, which did not care at all for Atisha's reforms and followed tantric-influenced practices associated with Padmasabhava. |
