A prayer service for the long life and welfare of jailed Tibetan spiritual leader Tulku Tenzin Delek has been prevented by Chinese authorities in Lithang. Tibetan monks and laypeople at the Nalanda Theckchen Janghub Choeling were stopped and rebuked. Tulku Tenzin Delek is in jail on charges related to bomb blasts in Kardze and is the focus of a campaign for his release.
