The Tibetan Journal reports that the Chief Minister of Sikkim is to invite Ugyen Trinley Dorje, the 17th Karmapa, to return to India to live at Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim where he is the ceremonial leader; he has been living abroad since 2017, with issues preventing his return. The report says that India now recognises the Karmapa’s importance, particularly with regard to the succession of HH the Dalai Lama.
