Abstract
Tibetan Buddhism has moved beyond the ethnic minorities of the Himalayas and has been adopted by Westemers, thus recognizing and generating many benefits tor cross - cultural understanding by many people. As such, it has now become an international, and even global, religion. Tibetan Buddhism no longer solely belongs to Tibetan/Hinlalayan people. It lienerits all of the world’ s people who study Tibetan Buddhism. Having studied and researched contemporary Tibetan Buddhism in Antdo,Kbarn, and in Westem and Eastern Tibet for more than ten years, I received scholarships at the University of Virginia in 2008 -2009 and at Harvard University in 2011 -2012. During this time, I did field work concerning Tibetan Buddhism in America. My main question during my field work has beenzwhal are the differences between traditional Tibetan Buddhism taught in America versus that taught in Tibet. In this article I will point out five tiifterences of Tibetan Buddhism in America versus Tibet.
