Monks and local people took him to hospital, but it seems that he has since been moved back to the monastery. Despite the buildup of troops, local people gathered at the scene of his self-immolation, quietly praying for him. The gathering led to a peaceful protest, with Tibetans calling for the Dalai Lama to return to Tibet. There are fears for the safety of Tibetans in Rebkong due to the military buildup following the self-immolation.
