藏传佛教融合了很多西藏当地的文化习俗和政治因素，再加上它选用的经文也不同，所以在信仰体系、修行的方法和具体的目的上都有所不同。总的来说，藏传佛教对喇嘛异常的尊崇、有活佛转世的思想、教派繁多，而且宗教与政治紧密结合；还有它的仪式也特别复杂。这些都是比较明显的区别。

可是我听说来中国投资手续繁多，程序复杂。我一直都没真正弄清楚到底要如何操作。每次外国朋友们向我打听，我都不知道怎么给他们建议。光是一些外商独资企业，中外合资企业，中外合作企业，三资企业之类的名号就已经把我弄晕了。

But I hear the procedures for investing in China are really complicated. I have never really figured out exactly how to do it. Every time a foreign friend asks my advice, I don't know what to tell them. Even names like ``wholly owned foreign enterprise", ``Sino-foreign joint ventures", and ``Sino-foreign cooperative business" are enough to make my head spin.
