Hey there! Have you heard about Xizang? You might know it as Tibet. It’s a region in China where people practice their religions freely and joyfully!
Recently, a special document called a “white paper” was released by China’s State Council Information Office. It talks about how people in Xizang can practice their religions openly and how their rights are protected.
Did you know there are about 46,000 Buddhist monks and nuns in Xizang? That’s a lot! There are also 12,000 Muslims and over 700 Catholics. Everyone lives together peacefully and celebrates their beliefs.
Families often have a special room or a shrine at home for prayers. Monasteries are buzzing with activities like learning scriptures, debates, and special ceremonies. Monks and nuns can study and even get promotions in their religious studies!
There are also super cool festivals like the Shoton Festival, Butter Lamp Festival, and Saga Dawa Festival. People walk around lakes and mountains, enjoying their traditions and nature. 🌄
The government has helped a lot too! Over 98% of monasteries and temples now have roads, electricity, and internet. They also support monks and nuns with health insurance and pensions, spending over 26 million yuan each year to help them out.
Nine Tibetan Buddhism colleges have been built, where people can learn more about their religion. The government invested 920 million yuan to make this happen!
All these efforts have made Xizang a place of harmony and development. Different religions get along, and people are happy. In 2025, Xizang will celebrate its 60th anniversary as an autonomous region. 🎉
Leaders like Gama Cedain say that the region has grown strong and stable, thanks to the support and leadership of the Party.
Isn’t it amazing how people in Xizang can freely practice their beliefs and live in harmony? 😊
