Tibetans Enjoy Religious Belief Freedom

Tibet currently has 1,787 lamaseries of all sizes with a total of 460,000 monks and nuns, according to the executive vice president of Tibet Buddhism Association.

Cemolin Danzengcelie, the vice president made this announcement at the symposium to mark the 50th anniversary of peaceful liberation of Tibet.

He said that since China initiated the reform and opening-up drive in 1979, the central government has appropriated over 340 million yuan (about 40 million US dollars) for repairing the lamaseries in Tibet, meeting by and large the needs of believers in Tibet Buddhism to conduct normal religious activities.

Another symbol indicates the respect for Tibetans' religious belief is that some patriots from the religious community are now leaders in the people's congresses, the political consultative conferences and the governments of different levels.
