When Tibet took refuge in India after the Chinese occupation and subsequent persecution began, it was a homecoming for this daughter of India after centuries of scrupulous adherence to the Nalanda tradition of Buddhist study done by her. India who had once mothered the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in 8th century CE now came to protect and preserve her own spiritual outflow in Tibet. This is the hallmark of the Indian civilisation and this is how all cultures of the world will eventually seek refuge in India and gain succour from her.
