The monk who founded the UK's first Tibetan Buddhist Centre has reportedly been "assassinated" in China.
Police in Chengdu, south-west China, say three suspects are in custody after Tarap Shetrup Akong was stabbed to death in a financial dispute.
The UK Foreign Office said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Chengdu, China, on 8 October.
"We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."
Chinese police said three Tibetans confronted and killed the monk, his nephew and his driver.
Akong Rinpoche - who was addressed as such because of his respected status in the Tibetan Buddhist community - co-founded the Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery in Eskdalemuir Langholm, in the Scottish Borders.
A statement on the monastery's website said: "I am very, very sorry to inform you all that tragically, my brother Choje Akong Rinpoche, my nephew and one monk who was travelling with them, were all assassinated in Trengdu today.
"Rinpoche's body has been taken to hospital where a post mortem will be carried out."
