14-year-old monk known as the 17th Karmapa will come to America - Woodstock NY nytimes.com WOODSTOCK, N.Y. -- The Buddhists on Overlook Mountain are waiting. In late December, one of Tibetan Buddhism's highest-ranking lamas, a 14-year-old monk known as the 17th Karmapa, made a spectacular flight from his Chinese keepers in Tibet. Ever since, the monastery here that was designed to be his home in the West has been filled with joy and anticipation. Its 30 members are expecting him to visit within a year. "That's not a hope, that's a definite," said Bardor Tulku Rinpoche, one of two high Tibetan lamas at Woodstock. The site of the monastery, on a wooded slope above the town, in terrain remarkably similar to the Himalayan foothills that have nurtured Tibetan Buddhism for centuries, was chosen by the 16th Karmapa before he died while visiting the United States in 1981.

(Add to that - my statement The mindless first-use threat of nuclear weapon on India and of course the Kashmir issue.) But the nuclear misadventures initiated by India in 1998 were very "mindful", huh? And stop dreaming about President Clinton not making a visit to Pakistan. He definitely will. Pakistan is an important piece of the puzzle in West Asia, and the US has to consider its own interests, not India's. In any case, six months from now, all you will be left with is some sweet nothings uttered by a President whose administration is on the way out. Once the slate is clean and the new administration takes over, it is back to square one for India.
