India's Modi Visits Bhutan Amidst Cultural Preservation Efforts

India's Prime Minister Modi visited Bhutan to strengthen their friendship and support Bhutan's cultural and spiritual autonomy.

Bhutan held a big festival with many monks to pray for the world and show how important their religion is.

At the same time, in Tibet, which is part of China, leaders were talking about making Tibetan Buddhism more like Chinese culture.

They want Tibetan monks to focus more on being Chinese.

So, while Bhutan is working hard to keep its Buddhist ways safe, China is encouraging a different approach that mixes Buddhism with Chinese ideas.

India is supporting Bhutan in keeping its own special traditions alive.
