          This article aimed to study: (1) The innovative model of Regong Ethnic Culture Palace and its significance in the teaching and Thangka cultural heritage, delving into the fusion of traditional apprenticeship and modern administrative mechanisms; (2) The inherent relationship between Thangka, Tibetan Buddhism, and Tibetan culture, along with its contemporary societal implications; and (3) The role and value of digital dissemination in the propagation of Thangka’s intangible cultural nuances. The study centered around students and instructors of the Regong Ethnic Culture Palace, Thangka painters from the Regong region, local inhabitants, and tourists. They were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection instruments included questionnaires and interviews, with analysis conducted via descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings revealed:

  1. A symbiosis of modern pedagogy and cultural tradition: The Regong Ethnic Culture Palace leveraged modern educational administrative procedures ensuring not only the continuation of Thangka’s cultural traditions but also a systematic and focused teaching methodology. This harmonious blend accentuates the urgency and necessity of cultural transmission in today’s society, providing students a comprehensive and standardized learning trajectory.
  2. An emphasis on skill and virtue: Integrating moral values within the skills training, highlighting Thangka as not merely an art form but also a cultural and spiritual practice. This “meditative practice through artistry” as pedagogical approach offers an immersive learning experience, deepening appreciation and propagation of the underlying cultural and religious essence.
  3. A Dual function of the Palace’s teaching model: While it provides holistic improvement for students, it also actively disseminates Thangka culture, establishing a robust cultural resonance
