History

Geography

Tibet consists of several regions:

• Amdo (a mdo) in northeast → the provinces of Qinghai, Gansu and part of Sichuan
• Kham (khams) in east → part of Sichuan, northern Yunnan and part of Qinghai
  • Western Kham → part of Tibetan Autonomous Region
• U (dbus) in center → part of Tibetan Autonomous Region
• Tsang (gtsang) in west → part of Tibetan Autonomous Region

(See also Provinces of China)

In the wide sense, Tibet also includes Bhutan, Sikkim and Ladakh[?].

Culture

The Tibetan people speak Tibetan language and a few Tibetans write the Tibetan written language.

Tibet is the traditional center of Vajrayana, a distinctive form of Buddhism. Before 1959, Tibet was a theocracy led by the Dalai Lama, who now lives in exile and is internationally seen by many people as being a spokesman for the Tibetan people.

Tibet is also home for spiritual tradition called Bön (alternative spelling: Bon).
