The cremation rites for Shamar Rinpoche, the revered monk who died in Germany last month, were held in Kathmandhu. Nepal had refused permission for the rites, fearing anti-Chinese demonstrations, but later allowed the ceremony to go ahead. The ceremony at the Shar Minub monastery was peaceful, with no political statements or protests and thousands of Tibetan exiles paid their last respects.
