Tibetan Buddhism is the body of Buddhist religious doctrine and institutions characteristic of Tibet, Mongolia, Tuva, Bhutan, Kalmykia and certain regions of the Himalayas, including northern Nepal, and India. It is the state religion of Bhutan. It is also practiced in Mongolia and parts of Russia and Northeast China.
