Toronto, Ontario: Responding to media queries on the Chinese
government plans to replace Tibetan with Mandarin as the medium of
instruction, His Holiness the Dalai Lama said "China is historically a
Buddhist country and the preservation of the Tibetan Buddhist culture
was also in the interest of the millions of Chinese who are looking
for spiritual sustenance".

During a half an hour meeting with the press in Toronto on Saturday,
His Holiness talked about the "Tibetan language and how it has helped
in promoting Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhist culture".

His Holiness said "China may want to learn from the Indian experience
where preservation and promotion of the linguistic diversity is being
done without that being seen as a danger of separation".
