Tibetan Buddhism concepts show up a lot in Twin Peaks, especially aspects of Bardo Thodol (Tibet Book of the Dead). As Leland dies, Cooper paraphrases parts of the Book of the Dead to him. Drugpas and Tulpas (mentioned in S3) are all concepts of Tibetan Buddhist origins. The Red Room, being a limbo state where individuals face their past traumas/trials in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment (The White Lodge), or it becomes a nightmare when you yield to the fear (Black Lodge) is also a key concept of Bardo Thodol.
Used loosely, the Bardo refers to the state of existence intermediate between two lives on earth. According to Tibetan tradition, after death and before one's next birth, when one's consciousness is not connected with a physical body, one experiences a variety of phenomena. These usually follow a particular sequence of degeneration from, just after death, the clearest experiences of reality of which one is spiritually capable, and then proceeding to terrifying hallucinations that arise from the impulses of one's previous unskillful actions.
