TIBETAN
BUDDHISM IS DIVIDED INTO THE RED AND YELLOW SECTS. THE RED SECT COMPRISES
OF THE NYINGMA, KARGYU AND SAKYA LINEAGES AND THE YELLOW SECT CONSISTS
OF THE GELUGPA LINEAGE . THE SECTS AND THE LINEAGES ARE DIFFERENTIATED
FROM EACH OTHER BY THE RITUALS PERFORMED, MONASTIC DISCIPLINE AND THE FOUNDER.
HOWEVER THE DIFFERENCES TEND TO BLUR WITH RITUALS OF ONE LINEAGE OVERLAPPING
THE OTHER.
