【Buddha
Rings over the Snowland】
Buddhism was introduced into Tibet in the 7th century and
it has been evolved into Tibetan Lamaism that integrated religion
with political power. The Lamaist rule lasted until the 1950s. For
more than a millennium years, numerous monasteries and temples arose
on Tibetan land. Nowadays lots of Tibetan people are believers of
Buddhism which is the pillar in their hearts.
The Buddhist temples scattering everywhere on Tibet are embodiments
of all the Tibetan art forms such as architecture, paintings, sculptures
and music. They amass the precious Tibetan folk treasures of all ages,
record the footsteps of plateau history, show the intelligence of
Tibetan people.
The Tibetan temples mostly sit on different landscapes, forming their
own different charactoristics. The color is quite particular, different
from the common practice, and outstanding on the plateau, attracting
people to visit. |
