"Even if I manage to obtain the degree, it will be only a starting point," he said. He plans to go back to his home monastery in the Ganzi Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Sichuan after having studied at the college for three years.

He added that the degree will allow him to teach scripture at his monastery.
