What are the customs in Tibet?

When receiving guests, whether walking or talking, Tibetan customs always put guests or elders first, and use honorifics, such as adding the word "la" after the name to show respect and kindness, and avoid calling them by their first names. You should bend your knees and smile when welcoming guests. Sit indoors, cross-legged, don't straighten your legs, point your feet at people, and don't look around. When accepting a gift, you should take it with both hands. When giving gifts, bow your head and raise your hands above your head. When offering tea, toast and cigarettes, offer them with both hands and don't put your fingers into the bowl.

Tibetans are absolutely forbidden to eat donkey meat, horse meat and dog meat, and some areas do not eat fish.

When toasting, guests must first dip their ring finger in a small wine bomb and fly into the air three times in a row to show their sacrifice to heaven, earth and ancestors. Then he will take a sip gently, and the owner will fill it up in time, and then take another sip and fill it up again. After three sips, he must drink it all at once when he fills it for the fourth time.

Don't eat, bite or drink water loudly when eating.

When drinking butter tea, the host pours the tea, and the guest can only take it if the host holds it in front of him.

No spitting and clapping on others' backs.

When you meet religious facilities such as monasteries, manidui and stupas, you must go around from left to right.

Don't step over utensils or braziers.

The warp tube and wheel shall not be reversed.

Don't touch your head with your hands.
