Tibet is a historical region covering much of the Tibetan Plateau in Central Asia.
It is the traditional homeland of the Tibetan people as well as some other ethnic groups such as Monpa, Qiang, and Lhoba peoples and is now also inhabited by considerable numbers of Han Chinese and Hui people.

A form of Buddhism prevailing in the Tibet region of China, Bhutan, the state of Sikkim in India, Mongolia, and parts of Siberia and SW China.
It has sometimes been called Lamaism, from the name of the Tibetan monks, the lamas [superior ones].
The religion is derived from the Indian Mahayana form of Buddhism, but much of its ritual is based on the esoteric mysticism of Tantra and on the ancient shamanism and animism of Bon, an older Tibetan religion.
It is also called Tantrayana [tantra vehicle] or Vajrayana [vehicle of the thunderbolt].
