Tibet's 14 year old Karmapa flees to India
An exhausted 14 year old Tibetan Buddhist leader crossed Nepal into India and reached Dharmsala after trekking through the Himalayas. He and a few monks escaped from central Tibet near the 800 year old Tsurphu Monastery, eluding guards and traveling by jeep later. The move calls into question China's religious policy and has drawn comment from Tibetan and academic observers.
