Presenting Hada
Present hada is a common practice among the Tibetan people to express their best wishes on many occasions, such as wedding ceremonies, festivals, visiting the elders and the betters, and entertaining guests. The white hada, a long narrow scarf made of silk, embodies purity and good fortune.
Proposing a Toast and Tea
Proposing a Toast and Tea When you come to a Tibetan family, the host will propose a toast, usually barley wine. You should sip three times and then drink up. To entertain guests with tea is a daily etiquette. The guest has not to drink until the host presents the tea to you.
Greetings
Greetings Don't forget to add "la"after saying hello to the Tibetan people to show respect . Make Way to others. Try not to make any sounds while eating and drinking.
Sky Burials
Sky burial is a common form in Tibet. There are many prohibitions. Strangers are not allowed to attend the ceremony. Visitors should respect this custom and keep away from such occasions.
Tibetan Buddhism
Also known as the Lamaism, the Tibetan Buddhism was introduced to Tibet from the mainland and India in the seventh century. The Tibetan Buddhism consists of four major sects, the Ge-lug-pa(Yellow) Sect, the Nying-ma-pa(Red)Sec, the Saturday-kya-pa(Variegated) Sect, and the Ka-gyu-pa(White) Sect.
Pilgrimage
The immediate motivations of pilgrimage are many, but for the ordinary Tibetan it amounts to a means of accumulating merit or good luck. The lay practitioner might go on pilgrimage in the hope of winning a better rebirth, cure an illness, end a spate of bad luck or simply because of a vow to take a pilgrimage if a bodhisattva granted a wish.
In Tibet there are countless sacred destinations, ranging from lakes and mountains to monasteries and caves that once served as meditation retreats for important yogin. Specific pilgrimages are often proscribed for specific ills; certain mountains for example expiate certain sins. A circumambulation of Mt. Kailash offers the possibility of liberation within three lifetimes, while a circuit of Lake Manasarovar can result in spontaneous Buddhahood.

一，＂哈达＂不仅在遇逢喜事时扮演不可或缺的角色，办理丧事时它也是必不可少的．
二，客观而言，直到＂和平解放＂之前中国对佛教在西藏的发展影响甚微；吐蕃皇帝赤松德赞时期（大约公元９世纪中后期），佛教正式宣布为吐蕃疆域唯一国教．其中一次影响深渊的事件是汉地佛教在一次由吐蕃皇家发起并监督的辩论（也就是如今所说的学术交流；当时的西藏，在宗教、医学、农业、军事、金属提炼等方面非常发达，各种不同的学术研究会晤从未间断、周遍国家如印度、波斯、希腊、罗马、中国等的学者以前去吐蕃交流文化为荣耀）中被印度正统佛教挫败而被永久驱逐。
三，藏人了解自己的过去和耻辱。但是，藏人对世界任何一个民族没有敌意。正由于这样的一个民族心态，她和她独特的文化，正遭受着践踏和破坏。
