Tibet Culture
By Amanda Summers
Art

   Tibetan art is considered sacred
    and is usually deeply religious.
   Scroll paintings appeared around
    the eleventh century and usually
    on cotton or linen.
   Many Tantric Buddhist art pieces
    represent wrathful gods . These
    gods represent dedication to
    protect the dharma teaching.
   The shamanistic religion of Bon,
    contains art pieces that show
    angry gods who inflict harm and
    sickness on local citizens.
Architecture
   Tibetan architecture includes
    Indian, Chinese, and Buddhist
    influences.
   Almost every Gompa in Tibet has
    the Buddhist prayer wheel on it.
   Many buildings are built facing the
    south and are on elevated land.
    They are made from a mixture of
    wood, rocks, cement, and dirt.
   To conserve heat many houses
    have flat roofs and have many
    windows for light.
   Walls of the structure are usually
    tilted inward by about ten degrees
    for safety because of the many
    earthquakes.
   The Potala Palace was designated
    as the World’s Heritage Site in
    1994.
Music
   Tibetan music is mainly based on
    religion such as Buddhism.
   Sharing religious teachings through
    song have been around since around
    the twelfth century.
   Tibetan “street songs” were ways for
    people to speak political or religious
    views in a time where there were no
    newspapers.
   Many of the religions requires the
    chanting of sacred texts or in
    celebration of festivals.
   Tibetan singers usually have strong
    vocal abilities which many attribute to
    the high altitude.
   Purba Rgyal was the 2006 winner of
    Haonaner, the Chinese version of
    American Idol.
