Karmapa hopes to claim holy seat in India

DHARAMSALA, India - The 17th Karmapa, the 15-year-old Tibetan lama, holds a news conference in Dharamsala in northern India on April 27, two months after he was given refugee status in India following his escape from Tibet. The Karmapa claimed he is supported by most Tibetans, including the Dalai Lama, and lamas of his own Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism, saying they all want him to take over the sect's main seat at the Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim.
