Deepening international exchanges

The High-level Tibetan Buddhism College of China could soon welcome its first students from overseas as it looks to raise the number of international exchanges, according to a senior faculty member.

Liu Peng, vice-president of the college which is located in Beijing, said the school is exploring the possibility of recruiting students from countries with strong Budd-hist traditions, such as Mongolia and Thailand.

"Many people have expressed strong interest in coming to our college, either on short-term study trips or special research programs," he said.
