Retrieved 2025-10-07. 摘要： 西藏的清真寺在历史上共有11座,其中拉萨有6座,日喀则有2座,昌都有1座,山南泽当和阿里古格各有1座。西藏清真寺有着藏穆文化相互交流与相互融合的印记。西藏清真寺的载体表现出两种文明相互碰撞的综合体,同时也体现出伊斯兰教向西藏本土化的过程。西藏清真寺文化即西藏穆斯林文化已成为藏文化不可分割的一个组成部分。 [Historically, Tibet has had 11 mosques: six in Lhasa, two in Shigatse, one in Qamdo, and one each in Shannan's Tsetang and Ngari's Guge. Tibetan mosques bear the mark of the exchange and integration of Tibetan and Muslim cultures. They represent a synthesis of the collision of two civilizations, while also reflecting the process of Islam's indigenization in Tibet. Tibetan mosque culture, and specifically Tibetan Muslim culture, has become an integral part of Tibetan culture.]
