Religions are adapting to China's socialist society and gaining vitality, the first meeting of the eighth political consultative conference committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region held on Thursday.

China followed a policy of freedom of religious belief, which accommodated the situation of Tibet, said Zhukang Tubdankezhub, a member of the eighth Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee.

The policy offered an opportunity for the growth of Tibetan Buddhism while temples could open their doors to anyone, said Zhukang.

Lamas, who were well read in religious doctrine, played an important role in Tibetan Buddhism. Monks, who could speak English and Chinese or use computers, were also vital, he added.

China's religious belief policy ensured the basic rights of religious adherents and protected Tibetan Buddhism's growth, according to participants at the meeting.

The activities of both monks and nuns should be in line with the country's political system and the law, said Nyada, a member of political and consultative committee of Nagqu county.
