The origins of Snowfield Buddhism can be traced back to the dawn of the Human Dao's prosperity, an era when a hundred schools of thought contended, giving birth to countless doctrines of the Human Dao.
Legend has it that Master Tian Gong of Vajra Temple had four great disciples. Two of them perished in the great war against the Demon Race. Of the remaining two, one founded Lingshan Temple, dedicating himself to a solitary, monastic life, turning his back on all worldly affairs. The other disciple traveled to the Snowfield to spread the teachings, and his temple was also initially named Vajra Temple.
As the Demon Race retreated and the Human Dao rose to prominence, conflicts over doctrinal lineage erupted between the various sects. Infighting was even common within the sects themselves. The Vajra Temple in the Snowfield was destroyed during one of these later internal disputes over lineage.
