Tibetan Buddhist monks are learning a range of skills, from languages to computing, along with their religious studies to ensure they don't lose touch with the modern world. Xu Wei reports.
Tadrin Gyatso regards the task of learning the Tibetan Buddhism canon as a lifelong mission and he values the process of self-enlightenment as highly as his inherited title of Living Buddha.
