| Summary/Abstract |
Tibetan Army has a long history. In ancient Tibet, it existed, but without a clear boundary between the soldiers and the common people. The soldiers were the people, and the people were the soldiers. The Tibet’s military reached at its zenith during the imperial period of Songsten Gampo, the first of the Three Great Buddhist Kings of Tibet.1 Later, with the rapid spread of Buddhist ideology of non-violence, Tibet turned into a pacifist community, and it had an adverse impact on the growth of the Tibetan army.
