		Of all the territories of Mustang, Tsoshar is the one closest to the wilderness of Changthang, Tibet's immense western plain.

		Tibet's strategic importance, straddling the Himalaya between China and the Indian subcontinent, made it irresistible to China, which invaded in 1950.
		Efforts to preserve Tibet -- its environment, its people, and their culture -- come in two forms: direct preservation projects involving Tibetan people and those who support their efforts, and educational projects providing resources for people, mainly non Tibetans, who want to learn more about Tibet or some aspect of its culture.
		Fortunately, many of the most accomplished Tibetan Buddhist meditation masters were able to escape from Tibet during the invasion, and to bring with them many of their treasured scriptures, art works and ritual implements.

		Chinese sovereignty over Tibet is said to have continued during the period between the 1911 Revolution—which established the Republic of China—and the founding of the PRC in 1949, despite efforts by "imperialist forces.
		In this view, Tibet was an independent country prior to 1949/50, and the military action by the PRC was an illegal violation of Tibet's legitimate sovereignty.
		The question of historical sovereignty is complicated by conflicting interpretations of the so-called "priest-patron" relationship that existed between earlier Tibetan hierarchs and the Mongol and Manchu emperors.
