The བོད Remnants

Titus 3:4-6 NASB
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He richly poured out upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Mark 7:7-9 NASB
7 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”

9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.

Ephesians 1:13 NASB
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

Romans 8:30 NASB
and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

Galatians 5:22-23 NASB
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Christianity into Tibet

António de Andrade was a Jesuit priest and explorer from Portugal. He entered the Society ( Original Jesuits of Paris France ) of Jesus in 1596.
He was also involved in missionary work in India (1600-1634).
Andrade was the first known European to have went through the Himalayas and reached Tibet - the first Christian mission on Tibetan soil.

He went north into the Himalayas with other pilgrims enduring altitude sickness and snow blindness. Andrade fought his way over a 17,900-foot pass into Tibet reaching Zaburang - the capital of the western Tibetan kingdom of Guge གུ་གེ་. Because of his piety, the king and queen allowed him to return, establish a mission, and preach the Gospel.

In 1626, King Chadakpo personally laid the cornerstone ... the first church in Tibet. The king paid for all the building costs. He showed great interest in the mission work and often went into the church to pray and ask the missionaries deep questions about Christianity.

King Chadakpo spared no expense in encouraging the missionaries to spread the Gospel message. He had wood brought in from another country because of the lack of trees in the Guge region. The wood was needed to make crosses for the church. The king also decided to completely cover a cross with brass. It was erected at the highest point of the city - to be seen from all directions when the sun reflected off it.

In 1630, the Tibetan Christians were singled out for retribution. They were either sold into slavery or sent into exile, while the church and missionaries’ houses were demolished.

དཀོན་མཆོག

The Ruins of Saint Paul's (Chinese: 大三巴牌坊; Portuguese: Ruínas de São Paulo) Built from 1602 to 1640 by the Jesuits, during the time in which Portugal and Spain were under the same crown, the church was one of the largest in Asia at the time. The Japanese Christian craftsmen who worked on St. Paul's were expelled from Japan in 1587 when Christianity was banned.
The ruins now consist of the stone frontispiece. The façade sits on a small hill, with 68 stone steps leading up to it.
