内容摘要： 民主改革前的西藏，寺庙众多，僧侣数量庞大，但这并不意味着旧西藏就是一个信仰自由的人间乐土。历史上，旧西藏寺院集团、僧俗官员、世袭贵族三大领主集团对下层僧尼、广大农奴实行野蛮的政治统治和残酷的经济剥削。被统治阶层生活动荡命运悲惨，毫无安全、人权可言，宗教信仰自由也就无异于天方夜谭。在中国共产党领导的解放战争和社会主义民主改革历史洪流中，西藏发生了翻天覆地的转变，中央历代领导集体都以“慎重稳进、十分严谨”的态度领导了西藏各项工作，在宗教领域，建立了和谐、和睦的宗教关系，实现了信教群众真正意义上的信仰自由。

Abstract: There were many monasteries and temples as well as great number of monks and nuns in Tibet before the democratic reform. However, it does not imply that everyone has freedom in choosing their own believes in the old Tibet. In history of old Tibet, the political power led by three groups, which are the monastic group, the monk officials, and the hereditary peerages, has implemented cruel and savage political domination and econom ic exploitation towards commoners and monks and nuns. In such society, the people under the ruling class lived in instability and led a tragic life. Furthermore, there was no sense of social security, not to mention freedom in religious beliefs. Under the historical trend of liberation war and socialist democratic reform led by the Chinese communist party, earthshaking changes have taken place in Tibet. The leadership of the central government led the work in Tibet with great focus on stable development and rigorous attitudes. In the field of religion, the cen tral government has created harmonious religious relationships and achieved true religious freedom for the mas sive believers.
