Tibetan's celebrate birthday of Karmapa


Tibetan exiles living in various part of country on Friday celebrated the 25th birthday of 17th Karmapa, Ugyen Trinley Dorjee, the only monk whose reincarnation has been recognized by both Dalai lama and China. This year celebration was low key in comparison to previous year as Tibetans mourn the death of Penor Rinpoche, head of the Nyigma sect of Buddhist and also as a mark of respect for the protesters killed in Tibet during last years agitation against Chinese rule.
