Tibetan Buddhist leader shelters teenage Karmapa in Dharamsala
The 17th Karmapa and his five followers arrived in Dharamsala after a difficult Himalayan trek from China. The Dalai Lama’s administration confirmed the defection but withheld details to avoid risks in Tibet and tensions with China. The boy, aged about 14, appeared exhausted with scraped hands and blistered feet. Tibetan officials will meet him next week to discuss his plans, while he rests under tight security at the Dalai Lama’s residence.
