LHASA, June 9 (Xinhua) - The 11th Panchen Lama urged students in Lhasa to study hard on Wednesday during a roundtable held at the University of Tibet, an initiative the 20-year-old Tibetan Buddhism leader proposed during his visit to Tibet.

"Life is too short. So you should seize every opportunity to study, to learn knowledge, and then you will succeed," the bespectacled, maroon-robed Panchen Lama said while speaking before nearly one hundred students in the university's assembly hall.

The 11th Panchen Lama (C) is welcomed by Professor Ceyang (L) of Tibet University in Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, June 9, 2010. The 11th Panchen Lama visited Tibet University and Tibet College of Tibetan Medicine in Lhasa on Wednesday.

"A man without knowledge is a man without soul," he said. "The more knowledge you acquire, the more you will know there is still a lot to learn."

The 11th Panchen Lama, who was enthroned as the reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama in 1995, said he has been studying hard to learn Buddhism and other subjects since he was six.
