Indian soldiers maintain tight security at the entrance of the Rumtek Monastery in Rumtek, Sikkim, India, on June 06, 2010. Since 1992 the monastery has been the site of pitched battles between monks supporting different candidates for the 17th Karmapa. The Karmapa Charitable Trust was supporting Thaye Dorje and Tsurphu Labrang was supporting Ogyen Trinley Dorje. The Shamarpa who supports Trinley Dorje says a sniper tried to assassinate him at the monastery. Armed Indian soldiers still patrol the monastery to prevent violence. The site of the Rumtek Monastery was chosen because there is a river below and snow range of mountains in front and flowing streams and mountains behind and these are all auspicious qualities.
