Tibetan culture is no longer distant

July,26 2016 BY Master Catherine Jigme 0 COMMENTS

Thanks to the improved transport links including the famous Qinghai-Tibet Railway, airlines to Tibet and the five highways to Tibet, Tibetan culture is no longer distant for us. Tibetan culture needs exchanges with the outside world. More and more Tibetan artists and tourists travel to Tibet from mainland China and other countries to spread Tibetan culture.

Given the history of all cultures around the world, there has never been a simplex culture of any ethnic group, as culture is constantly enriched and developed in the course of mutual communications. It is universally known that culture is defined by masses of ethnic groups, not a self-centered clique.

In the industrial age, every country and people in the world has the double task of developing the economy as well as achieving social modernization while effectively preserving excellent national culture. The development and practice of each country and nationality fully proves that to explore and develop traditional culture by closing its door to the outside world will instead cause an ethnic group to lose its vitality because of the lack of competition, and it will become the first country or nationality to lose its national traditions.

The door-closing policy is virtually a policy leading to suicide of traditional culture. The best way to kill national traditions is to isolate the nationality from modern society under the excuse of protecting it. There is no contradiction between the democratic reform in Tibet and the preservation of the traditional culture. On the contrary, it will greatly promote and improve the inheritance and development of Tibetan culture.
