Vajrayana Buddhism

Two centuries after Aryabhata, Chinese pilgrim Huien Tsang visited the University of Nalanda located in present day Bihar. People here studied the philosphy of Buddha, and a new form of Buddhism was born called Vajrayana Buddhism, and within a century, this form of Buddhism became the dominant one in India. This article describes the monasteries of that period and the art found in them.
