BEIJING: At least two Tibetan Buddhism monastic centres were severely damaged in Tibet with an unknown number of monks and nuns hurt, according to the few state media reports on the damage to religious sites since last week's powerful earthquake.
The magnitude 6.8 quake reduced to rubble roofs and walls at a monastery and a nunnery about 15 km (nine miles) east of the epicentre in Tingri county, China Tibet Online reported on Sunday (Jan 12).
