Home : China Guide : Tibet : Religion of Tibet

Religion here has a strong Tibetan cultural flavor, while keeping the original basic doctrines of Buddhism.

Tibetan Buddhism has a great influence in the daily life of the Tibetan people. There were many different schools of the Tibetan Buddhism in history.

From Lhasa, the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region, to the pastoral villages spread throughout the grasslands, there are many temples with golden roofs shinning under the sun.

Another important symbol of Tibetan Buddhism are the pilgrims who prostrate themselves every nine steps on their way from their hometowns to the holy city of Lhasa. Pilgrims can also be seen throughout Tibet visiting religious sites to erase their sins and accumulate virtue.

The monasteries are also the places where monks study Buddhism and where religion, art and customs have coalesced into one whole in Tibet.
