INTRODUCTION
With fewer than 200,000 Tibetans living in exile and some six million Tibetans living inside Tibet but lacking freedom to practice their cultural and religious traditions, the survival of Tibet`s rich cultural heritage is in grave jeopardy. One of the most damaging aspects of the fifty-year occupation of Tibet by the Chinese has been the relentless social and economic marginalization of Tibetans inside Tibet.
Today, Tibetan culture is at crossroads. Diaspora life has changed the mode of its preservation. The test for Tibetan culture is to be able to maintain its continuity while adapting to the changes in the situation. One important factor in this is the ability of Tibetan religious and cultural values to make themselves relevant in the daily life of the Tibetan people, whether in Tibet or beyond the land of snows. They should be made to realize that their cultural heritage has value and much to offer the world.
