Historically, Tibet is and has been a buffer between four powerful Asian countries: Persia to the west, India to the south, Mongolia to the north and China to the east. Glen Mullin, a Tibetan scholar who is a friend of the Dalai Lama, says that the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists once described Tibet this way to him:
"We adopted our spiritual traditions from India, the mother of the greatest religions in the East; we took our culinary arts from China, the Eastern land with the best cooking; and we adopted the Mongolian style of dress as the Mongolians had the most colorful sense in clothing."
