BEIJING - Police in the capital of Tibet clashed for four days with Buddhist monks trying to celebrate the awarding of a congressional honor for the Dalai Lama, a Hong Kong newspaper reported Sunday.
The Ming Pao newspaper said hundreds of monks at the Zhaibung monastery in Lhasa had clashed with police.
It said that after the clash, the monastery was surrounded by 3,000 armed police who refused to allow more than 1,000 monks leave. It gave no other details and did not say if there were any injuries.
A call to the monastery was not answered Sunday.

I am fascinated by your adventure story told in your blogs.
I could visualize your experiences as they have unfolded because of your words which magically are transformed into pictures. I look forward to more stories of Karen in Asia
