Hi welcome to my blog!!

Tibet


You can enjoy your trip with me to a country that I personally admire for its simplicity and beauty, in addition to its rich culture. I chose my blog to be about Tibet so that I can share with you some beautiful things that I have discovered whether they are about its short stories, dances, myths and other types of        literature.I try as much as I can to vary with different topics which I post so that I can cover their rich culture from different sides.At the beginning you will have some information about Tibet ,then you will have a brief information about its history. Furthermore,I collect some myths which i feel they are more interesting and that they have some messages and moral lessons. I know that I have covered  only a little of the history of this rich country and I hope that you will enjoy what I have covered.

The tiger answered, "All right,...

The worship of mountain Gods was one of the most important forms of nature worship among ancient Tibetans; it was fundamental to their entire belief system. Each mountain God possessed his own territory and was in charge of particular affairs. Around each God sprang up myths,legends, sacrificial rites and procedures. Analysis of Tibetan mountain God worship should lead to a fuller understanding of Tibetan mythology, and to a vision of the larger structures of that mythology.As ancient Tibetan society grew ever more complex, individual, autonomous Tibetan mountain Gods became associated in a complex hierarchy. Classification and stratification heralded the emergence of a single, supreme Deity. different geographical circumstances, and complex social developments and contradictions in the religion, however, brought about similarities...
