THE AMAZING AND PITIFUL HISTORY OF TIBET TIBET emerged in the 7th century as a unified empire but it was soon divided into a variety of territories. Tibet, an Autonomous country, began about 4,000 years ago, when living was simpler life. The dominant religion in Tibet is Tibetan Buddhism. Lhasa its capital, it is also the political, economic, cultural and religious center with abundant cultural relics, like the world's highest palace complex, the Potala Palace built over 1,300 years ago. Five mountains exceed the altitudes of 8,000 meters (26,240 feet) and most rise to 7,000 meters (22,960 feet). Tibet is called, The Roof Of The World and the 'Third Pole of the Earth'., it is the Highest Region On Earth, with an average elevation of 4,900 meters. Located in a plateau north of the Himalayas, It is a mysterious, exotic place for many outsiders. Tibetan homes, nomads, ancient monasteries, magnificent scenery, carpets of wild flowers, panda and of course, it is always an adventure up on the roof of the world. Trekking in Himalayas and rising nearly 5 km above sea level, Tibet is a land unlike any other country with a magical realm of vast open spaces. The Land of Snows, Tibet a mysterious Buddhist Kingdom, a region beyond the Himalayas, is famous for having the highest plateau in the world. In Central Tibet, between March 1959 and October 1960, 87,000 Tibetans were killed by Chinese forces tightening their grip on the country. Tibetans are becoming minority in their own country, making the desire to save and preserve their culture even stronger. Their leader, The Dalai Lama, was forced to flee into exile. China’s repressive policies have aimed at Tibetan cultural genocide. Since 2009, 121 Tibetans have self-immolated to call for the return of the Dalai Lama and for the independence of the nation. A nation which does not use any destructive weapon. It's a great pity for the culture and tradition of such an enriched nation to be wiped out. I pay my heartfelt and respectful homage to all the Tibetans who have sacrificed their lives fighting Spiritually and Pacifically to regain the freedom of Their Country, the "TIBET". Thanks for your reading. Below are some pics of the Tibetans, I may post more later, if required. Lisa.            |

A feudal society run by nobles and priests. Certainly sounds like a place that conforms to Western values.
