I think you must have the wrong nation.

First, Buddhist monks (not priests) are celibate. All of them. In fact, they did not even allow women in the residence of the Dali Lama after dark.

Further, virtually no-one from outside (or even inside) China is allowed to visit Tibet.

To be honest with you, knowing several Buddhists very well, I hope you have the wrong country, because the only other alternative i that someone told you a very viscous lie.

This nurse, as were some other American nurses, were recruited to Tibet to teach nursing. She was very up and above board and not a liar. She was a Christian and she was held to very strict rules and regulations. She even had to dress in their style clothing (which she had brought to the luncheon to show us)! She had photos of the homes with the objects (some looked like wind chimes) used to ward off evil or to help women conceive. There is a great deal of witchcraft in Buddhisim to this day. I assure you I have the right country and this was in 1986. I remember it very well as I am not incapacitated and I am not incapacitated now!
