It summarises the life of Tibetans from birth to death, focusing on important matters of Tibetan culture. Over the course of eleven chapters, the e-book describes childbirth, upbringing, rites of passage (including weddings), family life, work, amusement, examples of annual and religious rituals and death (including funerals). Apart from that, the e-book introduces readers to important Tibetan terminology and recommends literature for further reading on Tibetan subjects.
