Dharamsala, July 16: The Central Tibetan Administration held a prayer service yesterday evening to mourn and pray for the abrupt demise of Tulku Tenzin Delek and the latest self immolator from Kyegudo at Tsuglakhang Temple with hundreds of Tibetans and supporters in attendance.
The service was led by Kirti Rinpoche and was organized by the Department of Religion and Culture of the Central Tibetan Administration.
Education Kalon Ngodup Tsering conveyed the commiseration notes for the demise of the prominent Tibetan teacher, calling for a change in the worsening situations in Tibet and the overly obtuse policies that has “Tibetans on the receiving end of various human rights abuses.” He urged the Chinese authorities to release the body of Tulku Tenzin Delek to his family for the last rites to be performed properly.
Tulku Tenzin Delek died on July 12 and according to latest reports, his body has been cremated against the wishes of his family in an undisclosed prison today (July 16), 7 AM local time.
