Media Release from the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama [26 February 2011]
We are
surprised to note reports in sections of the media, especially in the
Indian Express (Chandigarh), Friday 25 February, of His Holiness the
Dalai Lama and the US Ambassador having discussed recent events around
the Karmapa during their meeting on 24 February. The Indian Express
said: “Sources said the Karmapa issue did figure in the Dalai Lama’s
meeting with the US Ambassador …. “We would like to make it clear that this report is entirely speculative and baseless. Neither side raised the issue at all.At this time such reports are not helpful.Chhime R. ChhoekyapaSecretaryOffice of His Holiness the Dalai LamaDharamsala,February 26, 2011
