Emblem of Tibet

The coat of arms of Tibet, which is used by the Tibetan government in exile, shows at its center the stylized than Mandala Buddhist Dharma wheel with eight spokes and the " three colored jewel " in the center, which is supported by two snow lions holding a banner. The inscription on the banner reads bod gzhung dga ' ldan pho brang phyogs las rnam rgyal ( " Tibetan Government Gaden Palace, victorious in all directions "). In point three white mountain peaks, the Himalayas and the Trans Himalayan Mountains with the Holy Mount Kailash in the middle. Between the mountains of the Himalayas are crescent moon and sun. Some elements of the emblem can be found on the flag of Tibet.

The Tibet Autonomous Region has, like the other provinces and autonomous regions of China, no own coat of arms. Symbols of the government in exile are prohibited there.
