Tibet's Buddhist Monasteries: Tibet's Buddhist monasteries form a key part of the country's national identity. For Tibetans they hold great religious and cultural significance, and, under the Chinese occupation, they have also become centres of political activism. Due to their respected status, Tibet's monks and nuns make natural community leaders. #tibetan #tibetanart #tibetanbowls #tibetanbuddhism #tibetanrugs #buddhism #buddha #buddhaquotes #buddhistmonk #buddhisttemple #Buddhists #buddhalove
