It is true
that since occupation of Tibet by the Communist Chinese,
there is no religious freedom in Tibet. Many people
escape from Tibet specifically to train in Tibetan
Buddhism. But due to the shortage of monks' room and
because of the poor condition of the existing
accommodation, there are many problems.
Most of
the rooms are shared by at least two or sometimes three
monks. The overcrowding and congestion results in the
spread of disease among the monks, which is our most
important concern. The monks also do not have proper
bookshelves to keep their scripture and other reference
books which they have to keep on the flat top surface.
Some of
the roofing of the room is flat metal sheeting, which is
now completely rusted. During the summer season, the
metal and sheet roofing make the rooms unbearable hot,
which disturbs the whole atmosphere of learning and
leads to the students losing their interest in study.
Because of
the overcrowded rooms, monks memorize their scriptures
in the courtyard but this becomes very difficulty during
the monsoon season.
