Buddhism started in India, right? What parts of the Buddhism of India went to Tibet?

From seventh, eighth century onward, the teachings of the Buddha came to the land of Tibet.  Tibetan Buddhism is not only Vajrayana. The type of Buddhism that came to Tibet, also includes all the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, and also the basic Buddhist teachings, what is also sometimes called the Pratyetkayana and Sravayakayana levels of teachings. The complete, whole, entire teachings that existed in India came to Tibet, and that’s what Tibetan Buddhism is.
