Makye Ame does not attempt to summarize:Tibetan Culture.Instead.it gives expression to it from deep in our hearts,thereby conveying the Tibetan people's joys and sorrows as we as our desires and aspirations.I often wonder if we could find ways to let more people get a real picture of Tibetan culture in their daily lives rather than just in academic works,and thus familiarize themselves with some of itsmore intrinsic features and join us in carrying it forward.It is an undeniable lacl thai Makye.Ame has introduced many enigmas to its customers,as they are constantly posing queslions.We can only solve the puzzles involving Tibetan culture by revisiling our history.
