Culture

Tibetan Culture website is published from Tibet and features news articles from Tibet. * The news from website published from Tibet normally does not represent the true reality of Tibet because of heavy censorship but its helpful to understand and find out how the Chinese communist government tries to tell their own people & the rest of the world about Tibet & Tibet issue.

The Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA) is the premiere exile institute entrusted with the responsibility of preserving and promoting Tibet’s unique tradition of performing arts. The Communist Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959 forced His Holiness the Dalai Lama and some 80,000 Tibetans to flee india. After the occupation, the Chinese authorities attacked every aspect of Tibetan culture and civilization.

TLI offers a bridge to the ancient wisdom traditions of Tibet as well as the contemporary Tibetans. Our Institute presents classes, seminars, workshops, and public lectures on Tibetan language, culture, literature, and philosophy (this includes on-going programs of study of Tibetan texts, conversational Tibetan, calligraphy, and lectures by guest speakers). All programs are organized by executive director David Curtis who studied at Kagyu Ling Monastic College in France.

The Plateau Music Project is about grass-roots preservation of the Tibetan Plateau's diverse musical heritage.
