Nature: Proselytizing

Gyelmo Gyalyum just opined that our power comes from the stories we tell to the people. These stories, if they have true power, must surely have the power to bring other peoples to the light of our leadership as well, both within and beyond Tibet! If we wish to end the threat of Buddhist heretics, the most effective route will be to spread the word of our faith far and wide, not withdraw and attempt to resist it through insularity as our forefathers did.

Doctrines: Harmonious, Stability

We must ensure the stability of our realm for generations to come, for when Gyalyum raises the banner of the Tibetan Empire once more, we must keep vigil and ensure it does not collapse once more into infighting!

Leadership: Hierocratic

To ensure that our traditions are treated with the proper respect and to spread the word, we require a powerful religious establishment that can work in its interests.

9 out of 10 times, the mystic is a fraud, and the event chain will end in failure no matter how good your stats (or the mystic's) are. It's a hidden trait on the mystic, but there are a few means to detect it other than using console commands to reveal hidden traits.

https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Immortality

Funnily enough that's not quite right, a fraudulent mystic CAN still get you immortality. It's just almost impossible as with each step of the chain with a fraudulent mystic the success rate drastically decreases; apparently the final event has something like 1000:1 odds of failure if you've encountered a fraud. But you could still theoretically make it.

Also it's not strictly 9 out of 10 times that the mystic is a fraud - the higher your character's stats in the immortality path you chose, the more likely it is the mystic is legit (per the wiki "The chance that the mystic is fraudulent is reduced if the chosen attribute is high (the thresholds are 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22). ").

And yeah the most reliable way to see if the mystic is a fraud is if the dynasty member who confronts you about her is ambitious, envious or deceitful as then they'll always lie to you and you can know that the mystic is the opposite of whatever they tell you.

Going to be contrarian and Vote No *for the moment* for a couple of reasons:

we only just conquered Arabia, it’ll be a decade before we benefit from those levies.

Most importantly, China’s in a Golden Age currently. That means Tibet would be facing down up to 175,000 attritionless, high quality event troops led by the most brilliant strategists China has to offer. Fighting them while they’re merely stable would maybe be a more even and interesting fight (especially once we’ve digested Arabia/possibly re-integrated the Deccan Empire.) As is, I’m fairly sure voting yes here is voting for the total dissolution of the Tibetan Empire.

Fair enough if you want that at this juncture, but I’d rather we get to that in 50 years or so :v

(Losing a war started with the invade China CB destroys all held Empire and Kingdom titles in addition to the massive prestige,’monetary/diplomatic costs).

While you don’t lose your levies, I’m fairly sure that you do get an extreme realm-wide penalty to levy reinforcement (to simulate your sending a massive army into China, I guess). So there is a pretty big penalty we can ill afford so soon after spending blood in Arabia.

E: Bonus reminder that we actually lost to the original Mongol invasion, and were only spared the Mongol yoke bc they then decided they liked us and never invaded with a CB for Tibet proper. This war would have no such get-out-of-jail-free clause.

Innovative - wherever this so-called Renaissance appeared, we cannot let its originators outpace us in the investigation of progress and the future. If Tibet is to rise again, we must seize the day, every day!

Trade Ideas - The world is vast, and the best way for Tibet to confront that vastness is to once again become its center by way of commerce.

General Estates - To coincide with this focus on commerce, we must ensure the productivity of the realm by having its peers, who know their lands well, guide our policies.

What the heck is the Taira's flag? It looks like an album cover for some weird, pretentious numetal band.

It's a version of the historical mon of the Taira clan, which as Tulip noted is supposed to resemble a butterfly (more specifically, a swallowtail butterfly):
