White is the most common color in southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region as the Tibetans love and worship the white color.
In Tibet, white symbolizes justice, kindness, nobility, purity, auspiciousness as well as festival. As long as it is white, it becomes a reason for Tibetans to worship and love.
Tibetan people connect white to their respectable deities. For example, they consider the white Mount Qomolangma as the auspicious goddess in white, and they see the snow-covered Gangdise Mountains as holy mountains. Also, white is an indispensable color in the Tibetan Buddhism as white prayer flags and white pagoda are seen everywhere in Tibet. And the Kagyu Sect, one of the five major sects of Tibetan Buddhism, is customarily called White Sect.
If one knows about the “white culture” in Tibet, he or she will have a deeper understanding about Tibetans and their culture.
