Abstract
The religious blending of North Bengal and the Himalayan countries held themselves
together from the seventh century. In Tibet Buddhism developed into a state religion
after the days of Guru Padmasambhava 's visit. From then onwards Tibetan
Buddhis"! spread to Sikkim, Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Bhutan, Subsequently after
the decline of the Palas and the Senas, the Buddhism disappeared from Bengal and
the main land of India but Tibet preserved and developed Buddhism. It spreads
towards Himalayan states of Sikkim and Darjeeling areas.
