N2 - Tibetan Buddhism enjoyed much state patronage during the Mongol Yuan and the Manchu Qing dynasties.

In 1792 the Qianlong emperor distanced his Tibetan policies from those of the Yuan dynasty in his famous “Discourse on Lamas”. However, despite the differences there exists an obvious continuity between the Mongol and Manchu dynasties in their policies towards Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism.
