Chinese scholars visit Lumbini for academic exchange
A group of Chinese scholars from China Tibetology Research Center visited the city of Lumbini for academic exchange from June 9 to 10 as part of “China’s Tibetan Culture, Kathmandu Forum” which opened on the morning of June 6 in Nepal’s capital city, Kathmandu.
Lumbini is the birthplace of Sakyamuni Buddha and is one of the holiest places in Buddhism. It is located within Nepal, 360 kilometers from Kathmandu.

Bajracharya, President of Lumbini Buddhist University, expressed his gratitude to the China Tibetology Research Center for the donated books. He said that China and Nepal are linked by Buddhist culture, and he expects the “Belt and Road” initiative to strengthen political and economic cooperation between the two countries.
Dr. Kelidiao, head of the library at the Lumbini International Research Institute, gave a detailed introduction to the library. It has a collection of 100,000 Buddhist texts, including numerous volumes on Chinese Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. He hopes to strengthen ties with the China Tibetology Research Center and to actively explore cooperation for academic research on subjects such as Sanskrit and religion.
