Just who, if any, will be the successor to the Dalai Lama has been a topic of debate for quite some time. Now, with the charismatic and controversial leader of the Tibetan people in his mid-70s, eyes are focusing increasingly on the Karmapa – a 24-year old Buddhist monk.
Award-winning, Bangladeshi freelance photographer and TCI instructor, “Akash,” traveled to Dharamsala in northern India, home of His Holiness and seat of the Tibet Government in Exile, to photograph the Karmapa – the young man who will most likely be the future spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people. Akash’s coverage is featured in this month’s issue of German GEO magazine.
