Topatan current | ^ Region | [[topatan_federation|Topat]], [[Drukyul]], [[Onghia]], [[Aisin]], parts of [[ariovarsan_federation|Ariovarsa]], other parts of inner [[Asteria]] | **Topatan Nirvanism** is a distinctive form of [[Hiragaurava]] Nirvanism, developed in [[topatan_federation|Topat]] and the surrounding regions of the Degyal mountains, incorporating elements of [[Mahagaurava]] doctrine and the pre-Nirvanist Topatan belief system, [[Yungchung Poin]]. It emphasizes the path to enlightenment through esoteric rituals, mantra recitation, and yoga, all under the guidance of a qualified spiritual teacher (lama). The two greatest of the lamas are, in order, the //**[[Gyatang Lama]]**// and the //**[[Kaiba Lama]]**//—both formally designated by the [[Prostasist Party]], after monks have determined the probable reincarnation, and thus successor, of either lama. The chief paradigm that distinguishes Topatan Nirvanism from other forms is the institutionalization of tantric practices and the transcendence of //tantra//, with the ultimate goal being to achieve one's inner //prajna// nature. Scriptures under this faith are studied in classical Topatan, which survives to the modern day through attachment to Topatan Nirvanism. Topatan Nirvanism has had immense cultural influence in Topat, [[Drukyul]], [[Onghia]], [[Aisin]], parts of [[ariovarsan_federation|Ariovarsa]], and a number of other lands across inner [[Asteria]]. With the advent of the [[unionstate|Union State]] and its monopoly over religious practice, dissenting congregations by refugees have emerged in [[Tenzan]], though to no effect upon the central governing body in Topat. {{tag>religion nirvanism hiragaurava topatan_nirvanism}}
