Tibet is an ancient nation of people inhabiting the highest land mass in the world, the one million square mile Tibetan plateau. With its rich natural resources and heritage exploited and devastated, major efforts are needed to protect the people and their unique culture.
Nobel Peace Laureate, His Holiness the Dalai Lama conveyed that "Tibetan culture with its unique heritage ... has developed a kind of energy which is very helpful for cultivating peace of mind and a joyful life." However, with the occupation of Tibet by Chinese rule, which led to his exile, he also warned that Tibetan culture is "nearing extinction."
Tibet House US, a non-profit cultural embassy and educational institution, was founded in 1987 at the request of the Dalai Lama. It aims to preserve and promote the rich and unique Tibetan culture by functioning as a cultural center in New York City and providing access for interested audiences globally. It is part of a worldwide network of Tibetan institutions dedicated to keep the flame of the Tibetan spirit burning.
