Abstract
This is a brief account of Tibet's tumultuous relationship with China and the destruction and revival of Tibetan Buddhism from 1949 through to the post-collectivization era in the 1980s and 90s. The study focuses on the consequences of loosening religious freedom by Deng Xiaoping in 1978 and the continued political negotiations between the exile government in Dharamsala, India and Beijing over Tibet autonomy.
