Islamic Culture in Tibet

Islamic and Tibetan cultures appeared almost at the same time in the 7th century. By the 13th century, Islam spread as far as to Tibet. And both cultures inevitably interacted with each other. As the result, the Islamic culture on one hand became unique with a merge of both cultures and on the other hand enriched the Tibetan culture. The author will describe the Islam culture of Tibet from distinct aspects as follows: ethnic name of Muslims in Tibetan language, material culture (such as mosques), Muslim community (social community, spiritual culture and so on), education (religious & secular education) and intellectuals, mental culture (philosophy and theology).
