Docta Ignorantia LXII Tibet What are the names, in English and/or French transliteration, of the Dali Lamas during the period 1088 to 1307 Christian time? I am especially interested in the period 1280 to 1307. My question contemplates a connection between the Knights Templar and Tibetan Buddhism, just as there was between Jesus and Tibetan Buddhism. Specifically, I am wondering if the word "Baphomet" which has come down to us as used by the Templars at the time of their suppression in 1307 connects to a Dali Lama or a Lama residing in the Mediterranean area. I am considering that the fundamental mission of the Templars was not to make safe the way to Jerusalem but the way through Jerusalem and the Khyber to Lhasa. Correlatively, are there any Tibetan monastic establishments in the Mediterranean area during the first 1000 years of the Christian presence there? I am considering that the folks we call Celts and Merovingians are Euro-Tibetans, descendants of travelers/settlers from the period of 3-4K years before Jesus. Additionally, I am considering that Pythagorean monasticism, which was called Essene in First Century Palestine and which is otherwise unprecedented in the European record, is a Tibetan flower. Correlatively, there is evidence of Mary Magdalene's being called Dompna in Provencal France, an appellation that sounds Tibetan-inspired. Most urgently I am wondering what are the name of the Dali Lamas in the period 1280 to 1307 Christian time or any Lamas in the Mediterranean area whose names might have come down as "Baphomet."
