Reform has taken Tibetology to new level

China's reform and opening up have taken Tibetology to a new level, experts have said after reviewing the development of the religious philosophy over the past three decades.

More than 200 international and domestic experts and scholars exchanged the latest findings on, and progress in, Tibetology at the Fourth Beijing Seminar on Tibetan Studies.

Participants in the three-day seminar, which closes at the China Tibetology Research Center (CTRC) in Beijing today, presented and discussed their research works on the Tibet autonomous region's society and economy, linguistics, literature, religion, Sanskrit, museum studies, ancient history and Tibetan medicine.
