The monks in their deep saffron robes held placards and chanted mantra during the demonstration.
“Buddhist monks protested and condemned China’s actions in Tibet,” said Lama Tenzing, chief of the Tibetan monastery at Bodh Gaya.
The protestors expressed solidarity with Tibetans fighting against Chinese oppression of people in Tibet.
Pragyadeep, an Indian Buddhist monk who took part in the peaceful protest, said: “We offered special prayers for the souls of the Tibetan victims.”
They ended their protest march at the Mahabodhi temple. Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has close association with the Tibetan monastery at Bodh Gaya. He stays at the monastery during his visits here.
