Delegates: Tibetan Buddhism thrives

Tibetan Buddhism has never been better than it is today, said a Tibetologist in Tokyo.

Zhou Wei, director of the China Tibetology Research Center's Religion Research Institute, told Japanese lawmakers and reporters that Tibet has more than 1,700 temples with about 46,000 monks. Among them are nearly 400 living Buddhas.

The Tibetan Culture delegation was organized by the State Council Information Office of China.
