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. 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}}
