The Chinese occupation of Tibet has significantly restricted the practice of Buddhism, which is central to Tibetan culture and identity. Religious institutions have faced heavy surveillance, and many monasteries were destroyed or repurposed during the Cultural Revolution. Tibetan spiritual leaders, including the Dalai Lama, have been exiled, leading to a disconnection between Tibetan Buddhists and their traditional spiritual practices. Additionally, state-sponsored Atheism and controls on religious education have further suppressed Tibetan religious expression.
