Indawo ethintekile ayihlanganisi iTibet kuphela kodwa nezifundazwe eziseduze zaseGansu, Qinghai naseSichuan, esezinemiphakathi emikhulu yaseTibet amakhulu eminyaka.
ENingizimu yeXiahe, izifunda ezinhlanu zisavaliwe eSichuan, lapho kuqubuke khona imibhikisho kabusha ngenyanga edlule, okuyingxenye yemibhikisho esabalele kakhulu emelene nokubusa kwamaShayina selokhu uDalai Lama abalekela phesheya cishe eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule.
