TIBETAN WORLD
The formerly independent country known as Tibet is now part of the Republic of China, having been awarded the dubious status of 'Tibetan Autonomous Region'. Tibetan Buddhist culture stretches well beyond these artificial boundaries: to the the western China provinces of Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan, to Nepal and Bhutan, and the Indian states of Sikkim, Ladakh and Zanskar.
