Shan are Buddhists, convinced and practicing. Their life is closely related to their natural environment and to all living beings of the jungle with whom they have a harmonious relationship. They also follow the model of auto-sufficient economy… Black Lahu are rather animists, with their own rites, traditions and dances.
