Senior Tibetan lama gives up monkhood, gets married in Delhi
A senior Tibetan lama has abandoned monkhood and married his childhood friend in Delhi, according to his office. Thaye Dorje claimed to be the reincarnation of the Karmapa Lama, the leader of a major Tibetan Buddhism school, but this was challenged by a rival claim to the title. Dorje said his decision will have a positive impact on the lineage.
