Tibetan Buddhism is better understood in the west because, as a result of the Chinese communists overrunning Tibet, many of the great masters and teachers have migrated to the west-USA, UK, Canada, Europe, free Asian countries, even Russia. They are faithfully preserving the great texts, and teaching to many western students. Certainly against their inital intentions, the CCP has caused the Dharma to spread throughout the world, and its followers to become much further and wider than they would ever wanted to see happen.
Emphasis is on Mahayana Buddhism , Compassion and Enlightenment for all : rather than just self enlightenment
It resonate with me personally, is ethically and universally involved regarding equality in all beings.
Due to the amount of information associated with the Chinese invasion of Tibet and the support that the Dalai Lama has in the West. His peaceful approach versus the barbaric invasion of his country by the Chinese government.
Chinese Buddhism ca encompass creationism Confusionism and other worshipping.
because of Dalailama
It seems that most in the west know the Dalai Lama and are more interested in his words
more ppl exposed to tibetan buddhism via the teachings of the Lamas who live here
cause is true
