The Art of TibetAsia Society, 1969 - 163 pages The culture of Tibet has been determined to a large extent both by her geographical situation and by her environment. Sandwiched between China in the north and the east, and India in the south, and tied to both by inexorable bonds through Buddhism, she has absorbed traits from the ancient civilizations of both her neighbors. While the influence from India has been primarily religious and intellectual, China has left lasting impressions on Tibet's politics and administration. -- Introduction. |
