Tibetans enjoy religious freedom

By Li Decheng (China Daily) Updated: 2014-02-14 08:07

The year 2014 marks the beginning of the Year of the Horse in China and the "Year of the Wooden Horse" in the lunar calendar of Tibetan people. The Year of the Horse is also the "recurrent birth year" of Gang Rinpoche (or Mount Kailash), a holy mountain in west Tibet. Since circling Gang Rinpoche in the Year of the Horse is a scared tradition among Tibetan Buddhists, this year has seen an endless stream of people flocking to the region to perform pilgrimage.

The Tibetan people's freedom of worship has been respected and protected in the Tibet autonomous region and other areas inhabited by Tibetan people since the region's peaceful liberation, especially since the adoption of reform and opening-up.

Tibet has more than 1,700 temples and other places of worship, and over 46,000 monks and nuns. The other areas inhabited by Tibetan people in the country have about 1,800 temples and nearly 100,000 monks. In total, China has about 360,000 religious clergies, with more than one-third of them being Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns.

Tibetan Buddhism has many sects, each with its distinct characteristics developed over centuries. The Gandan Monastery of the Gelug sect, best known in the West as a Tibetan Buddhist school, the Dorje Drak and Mindrolling monasteries of the Nyingma sect, the Sakya Monastery of the Sakya sect and the Tsurphu and Drigung monasteries of the Kagyu sect are important learning and teaching centers of Buddhism. They are also important religious centers of different Buddhist sects.

Monks and nuns from different Buddhist sects now enjoy a full freedom to preach and conduct religious activities. Believers are also free to visit monasteries and holy mountains to worship and perform religious rituals. They can circle the holy mountains, recite Buddhist scripture and spread Buddhist teachings, and take part in all kinds of religious activities.

Tibetan Buddhism also has a variety of colorful festivals such as Mon Lam Chenmo (Great Prayer), Saga Dawa, Lhabab Duechen, Butter Lamp Festival and Shoton. The birth and death anniversaries of the founders of different Buddhist sects have become important days for Tibetan Buddhists, and performing rituals on these days is an important part of their religious life. In addition, some monasteries have developed some festivals of their own such as the Buddha Unfolding Festival celebrated by Tashilumbu Monastery.
