Karmapa Facing New Restrictions in India
There's a news report that the Karmapa's movements have been significantly restricted. He's no longer allowed to travel abroad and even his travels in India have been significantly restricted. He asked to visit the Dalai Lama three times and was refused three times before being granted a half an hour visit. Not only that, the construction of a monastery in India as a permanent residence was halted by the government. He's currently a guest iof the Dalai Lama, in one of the monasteries of the Gelugpa order. It sounds like all those articles saying that the Karmapa will be the Dalai Lama's successor have upset the Indian government.
