Lahuli, Tinan in China

Lahuli, Tinan in China The Lahuli Tinan are also known as Bhotia, referring to people of Tibetan stock in general. Lahuli is also a generic term used to describe the inhabitants of the Lahul District. Lahuli men are skillful merchants and traders, and Lahuli women are known for their independence. "Since their husbands are usually off on trading expeditions, the women feel free to take more than one husband". The strength of Tibetan Buddhism in the region depends to a great extent on the prosperity and generosity of the Lahuli Tinan.

Pray that there will soon be a growing number on both sides of the border.
