A total of 23 monk students of the Jonang Sect of Tibetan Buddhism received their graduation certificates in the college.

Yesterday, 23 monk students of the Jonang Sect of Tibetan Buddhism received their graduation certificates in the college. And 12 monk students with seven from the Gelugpa school and five from the Kargyu school graduate today.

The degree awarding ceremonies will be held on Saturday this week. Hopefully, almost all of them will be awarded with the title of "Nzhing Ram Ba" or "Tho Ram Pa".

After more than two years' study in Beijing's college, they will go back to their stationed monasteries in Tibet and Tibetan inhabited areas in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces to fulfill their resolution of Buddhism cultivation and serve their believers.

Since most of the monk students of the High-level Tibetan Buddhism College of China are accomplished Tibetan monks and lamas who have passed the strict selective entrance exams, they tend to have many followers who would pay homage when the monk is at home and call very often when the monk is in Beijing. In fact, monk students in the college have two to three months summer vacation during which they would go back to their stationed temples or homes to fulfill their religious roles and duties. Yet still, devotees' need on them is far beyond that. Thus the graduation of their study in Beijing also marks their busy days' coming.
