China orders Tibetan pilgrims in India and Nepal to return

Beijing, Jan 23 (UNI) A local government in China’s Sichuan Province has issued a sudden order this month for Tibetan pilgrims in Bodha Gaya (India) and Nepal to return home, forcing hundreds of travellers to cut short plans to attend the teaching by their Buddhist spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lama has been holding a month-long Kalchakra spiritual teachings in Bodh Gaya, a revered Buddhist site in India’s Bihar state, drawing religious tourists and pilgrims for instructions on Tibetan Buddhism.
“The recall order was for all Tibetans living in those counties under Sichuan province, predominantly the Kham area, such as Dege, Minyak and probably all other counties,” a Tibetan living in Nepal told Radio Free Asia’s Tibetan Service on Sunday.
