The President of Central Tibetan Administration, Dr Lobsang Sangay addressed the students and faculty at the Central University for Tibetan Studies, Varanasi (CUTS) on Friday, July 14th. The University is a premier institute for Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, sciences and language that was founded by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Addressing the audience of students and faculties, the President said, “His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama’s visionary leadership has triumphed Cultural Revolution and China’s successive efforts to erase Tibet. The traditions of the Nalanda Mahavihara that were destroyed in Tibet continue to flourish in exile.”
“In destroying monasteries and religious institutions in Tibet, as the late Panchen Rinpoche declared in his 70,000 character petition, the Chinese Communists tried to eliminate the Tibetan identity, culture and its Buddhist traditions and they thought they had succeeded,” Dr Sangay said.
