If you were wondering is the new DeepSeek ai loaded with ccp propaganda...

I've been getting into Gorshey a little more and wanted to ask where everyone gets their latest Gorshey dances from. If from Youtube or Xiaohongshu what channel?

Hello, I'm an Asian American and think the chuba's look really really cool. Would there be a place to buy an "authentic" one in NYC? Sorry for the culture vulture but damn those robes are really cool looking.

Just read an article in the February 2025 issue of National Geographic that mentions this lineage. The story is about an ancient jawbone found in a cave that Buddhists use to meditate called Baishiya Karst cave and is located in current Gansu Province. A quick google search turned up nothing on this lineage. The article also mentions that ancient bones found in the cave were traditionally ground up and used as medicines or elixirs. Does anyone have more information on this? Or can point me to where to find? Thanks.

Hello Tibet!

I collect postcards but I don’t have any from Tibet. Can a visitor or resident send me one? Thank you. :)

I am having difficulty converting the dates on this website.

Does Losar coincide with Chinese New Year this year? Most websites are reporting it will fall in March, which suggests not.

hi, I had poster here earlier asking about lopta for my bachelors dissertation. I need some more help regarding my research. Do any of you have screenshots of Google Maps or pictures of any older maps with the date or maybe not where the political boundary of Tibet is defined and Tibet shows as a separate country on the map? Digitally it was removed just this past decade so I’m pretty sure someone might have it. Also if anyone has screenshots of the Tibetan flag in the emoji sections or something? Pls help a girl out. This will show the digital erasure of Tibet from people’s mind and the adherence to Chinese maps and propaganda in my thesis.

My first contact with tibetan culture was through his books, which I recently started reading and found fascinating (both tibetan culture and the stories). Anyone else familiar with his works?

Hello all. I am not Tibetan at all, but a Filipino-American. For years I've been so utterly amazed and fascinated by Tibetan history, religion, folklore, food, and even videos of daily life among mountain villages. It's a shame I'm so poor, otherwise I'd gladly visit this country (and it SHOULD be its own country) several times.

I had a small idea recently to write a story that takes place in Tibet and explores two or so aspects of Tibetan folklore, such as Buddhist spells, ro-lang, and Snow Lions. I know such a story should not be casually written, because these are old traditions with a whole text book's worth of context. And now that I've seen this sub for the first time, I see just how strongly you all feel for Tibetan dignity and integrity.

I just thought up this idea, so I won't be devastated if I have to drop it. But I was curious; how would you feel about a family-friendly, somewhat funny but mostly serious story (less wholesome than Disney films, but still family-friendly) written by a non-Tibetan that explores ancient Tibetan folklore? There would be none of the orientalism or glorification of Tibet as a land of perfectly peaceful monks doing nothing but meditating all day. And I would never say or do anything in support of China's control.

Also, I don't know if this would help or not, but the main characters are visitors to Tibet, not native Tibetans themselves, though of course there would still be Tibetan characters. I figured it would make more sense for an outsider, like me, to write from the perspective of an outsider, as long as I explore legitimate Tibetan folklore, landscapes, etc.

But if you think it would be too much for a foreigner to handle, even with help from some Tibetan people, then I can drop the idea.

In May, Chinese police arrested the abbot of a village in Dharlag, Golog, Amdo region, along with the village head and over 20 local Tibetans, for promoting Tibetan language programs. As reported by Tibet Times on Dec 20, the village head, Gonpo Namgyal, died on Nov 18 from repeated torture, including electric shocks and beatings, while the health of the abbot, Tenpa Dhargay, remains critically concerning.

Lord Alton House of Lords opening debate on China in relation to human rights & security issues 19/12/24 The policy towards China especially in relation to human rights and security issues arising from China's actions in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, and the South China Sea, and against the Uyghurs in XinjiangRejecting the CCP's imposed name "Xizang" for Tibet is crucial. We don't use names given by Imperial Japan to occupied Chinese territories, we don't call Manchuria, "Manchuko" we must use "Tibet" It's an act of resistance honouring Tibetan identity #FreeTibet #TibetIsNotXizang
