藏传佛教文化得到尊重和保护。中央和西藏自治区政府始终把藏传佛教文化作为中华民族传统文化的重要组成部分，一直以来给予有效保护，不断加强对宗教典籍的收集、整理、出版和研究工作。中央政府支持4000多万元，组织上百名藏文专家，历时20余年，完成了对藏文大藏经《甘珠尔》《丹珠尔》的校勘出版。20世纪90年代以来，藏文《中华大藏经·丹珠尔》(对勘本)《藏汉对照西藏大藏经总目录》《因明七论庄严华释》《慈氏五论》《释量论解说·雪域庄严》等陆续整理出版。已经印出《甘珠尔》大藏经达1490多部，还印出大量藏传佛教的仪轨、传记、论著等经典的单行本，供给寺庙，满足僧尼和信教群众的学修需求。宗教研究机构、高僧、学者的有关佛教专著，如《贝叶经的整理、研究》《西藏拉萨现存梵文贝叶经的整理》《西藏宗教源流与教派研究》《活佛转世制度》《郭扎佛教史》《西藏苯教寺庙志》《中国藏传佛教寺庙》《西藏佛教寺院壁画艺术》等，都正式出版发行。

　　寺庙得到维修和保护。20世纪80年代以来，国家每年都拨专项资金和黄金、白银等用于寺庙的维修、修复和保护。20世纪80年代以来，中央政府累计投入14亿多元对西藏文物和重点寺庙进行了大规模维修。国家资助专款670万元、黄金111公斤、白银2000多公斤及大量珠宝，修复了五世至九世班禅灵塔祀殿。为修建十世班禅灵塔祀殿，国家一次就拨专款6620万元、黄金650公斤。1994年，国家又拨款2000万元，继续修复甘丹寺。从1995年开始，中央财政通过国家重点文物保护专项资金，对西藏布达拉宫、罗布林卡、萨迦寺等列入国家重点文物保护单位名单的寺庙维修与保护予以积极支持。

Tibetan Buddhist culture is respected and protected. The central government and the local government of Tibet Autonomous Region have always regarded Tibetan Buddhist culture as an important component of traditional Chinese culture, offering protection and reinforcing the collection, compilation, publication, and research of religious classics. The central government set a budget of more than 40 million yuan for the revision and publication of the Tibetan Buddhist canons Kangyur and Tengyur, a 20-year project entailing the efforts of more than 100 Tibetan experts. Since the 1990s, the Tibetan-language Chinese Tripitaka - Tengyur (collated edition), A Tibetan-Chinese General Catalogue of the Tibetan Tripitaka, A Commentary on Tshad-ma sde-bdun, Five Treatises of Maitreya, and Annotations on Pramanavarttika Karika - the Solemn Snowland have been successively compiled and published. More than 1,490 copies of Kangyur have been printed, and the ritual procedures, biographies, and treatises on Tibetan Buddhism have also been published to meet the study demands of monasteries, Buddhist monks and nuns, and lay believers. Treatises on Buddhism written and published by religious research institutes, eminent monks and scholars, such as Collation and Research of Pattra-leaf Scriptures, Collation of Sanskrit Pattra-leaf Scriptures Extant in Lhasa, Studies of the Origin and Development of Religions and Religious Sects in Tibet, Reincarnation System of Living Buddhas, History of Buddhism by Guta, Records of Tibetan Bonist Temples, Records of Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries in China, and The Art of Murals of Buddhist Monasteries in Tibet have been published.

Temples are maintained and protected. Since the 1980s, the state has allocated funds, gold, and silver to maintain, renovate and protect temples. More than 1.4 billion yuan has been spent on restoring Tibetan cultural relics and refurbishing key monasteries. A total of 6.7 million yuan, 111 kg of gold, 2,000 kg of silver, and a large amount of jewelry has been used to renovate stupas and prayer halls from the Fifth Panchen Erdeni to the Ninth Panchen Erdeni. The state budget to build these for the 10th Panchen Erdeni was 66.2 million yuan and 650 kg of gold. In 1994, the state allocated another 20 million yuan to renovate Ganden Monastery. Since 1995, the central budget has given active support to the maintenance and protection of monasteries listed as state key cultural relics units, such as the Potala Palace, Norbulingka and Sakya Monastery.
