Hi, Jet.
This is my question. Why Tibetan Buddhism instead of other schools of Buddhism? What led you to Tibet and this religion?
Thank you.

Jet's Response
I'd come to realize that Tibetan Buddhism and the Tibetan social structure in general remain quite pure. By that I mean that people in that society their primary goal in life is not of self or material gain. When I was in Tibet a few months ago I noticed that they were holding massive prayer ceremonies praying for world peace and they do this quite often. Ironically not many people outside of their region know of what they are doing. Yet in spite of this lack of awareness by others, they have, and will continue to do, what they feel is the purpose of their life: to pray and send kind thoughts to others. That is why I chose Tibetan Buddhism.
