| | Buddhist temples are being built virtually from scratch, young lamas are being rapidly trained, contacts with Buddhist communities abroad, especially with Tibetan Buddhists in India and the 14th Dalai Lama have been established. | | | I was in India doing fieldwork with Tibetan Buddhists in Dharamsala, when I happened to meet one of these Buryat monks, who was one of the first Buryats to be sent to study in Tibetan monasteries in India. | | | To cut or even minimize ties with Tibetan Buddhists in the situation of dire shortage of qualified Buddhist teachers strikes me (and many Buryats) as very inappropriate, since Tibetan diaspora is the main bridge for the aspiring Buryat students to the living Buddhist wisdom. |
