	THE KARMAPA CONTROVERSY
		Praying with pure motivation and with the blessings of the 16th Karmapa, I have concluded with absolute certainty that Urgyen Trinley Drodul Dorje from Tibet is the 17th Karmapa.
		However, by relying on their faith in the Karmapa and their determination to support and protect His Holiness, the disciples were able to resolve the matter on all the three different occasions.
		In the case of the Karmapa Lineage, Karmapa’s disciples must have sincere faith in the first Karmapa and in all his reincarnations, as well as the firm belief that the lineage is continuous and unbroken.

	The Karmapa Issue
		The 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Thinley Thaye Dorje, was born in 1983 in the Year of the Pig.
		The 17th Karmapa's father is the third reincarnation of the 1st Mipham Rinpoche, the head of 13 Nyingma monasteries in Kham, Tibet, and a descendant from many generations of doctors and learned medical scholars.
		The 5th Karmapa's prediction of the weakening of the lineage at the time of the 16th or 17th Karmapas actually refers to the discrepancy between the number of rebirths and the number of enthronements caused by the early death of the fifteenth reincarnation.

	The Seventeenth Gyalwa Karmapa, Thinley Thaye Dorje
		Since the Twelfth Century, when the first Karmapa, Tüsum Khyenpa, wrote a letter stating where his next incarnation would be found after his death, the Karmapas have always recognized themselves.
		At the age of 11, after the he and his family had fled from Tibet, he was officially recognized as the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa by the 14th Kunzig Shamarpa, the second highest Lama in the Karma Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
		Traditionally, it is the Sharmapa's responsibility to recognize the new Karmapa and to make sure that he is trained appropriately.

	The Karmapa Controversy
		The conflict arose after a young monk, Urgyen Trinley, was falsely proclaimed the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu lineage by Tai Situ Rinpoche.
		Traditionally, the Karmapas are unique among all incarnate Buddhist lamas in that they leave specific instructions detailing their future rebirth.
		In 1992, Situ Rinpoche, officially the third ranking lama in the lineage presented a letter to fellow Kagyu lamas, which he claimed was the "prediction letter" of the 16th Karmapa.

		After the discovery of His Holiness the 17th Karmapa and provisional confirmation by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in June of 1992, Shamar Rinpoche announced his opposition to the manner of recognition of the 17th Karmapa and that he would not accept the Sacred Testament of the 16th Karmapa.

		The Karmapa is now in India and the media outlets in India have taken centerstage in providing a source of newsreports, not only for the readers in India, but for the world.
		The accompanying article (which features a recent picture of the 14 year old Karmapa), conveys a proper sense of well-researched reporting, with one discordant note: the Karmapa is described as the "17th reincarnation of Buddha." This description of Karmapa's reincarnate status is quite garbled.
		The 14 year old Karmapa's departure is having widespread ramifications on a variety of fronts, and has been incorporated into the agendas of a variety of governments and media spokesmen worldwide, who cite his arrival in India as an example of the poor Chinese record on protecting religious and human rights.

		Finally, though, the thirteenth Karmapa and the ninth Shamarpa, Geway Jungnay, were enthroned.

		The Ninth Karmapa directed the construction of three monasteries in Sikkim, one of which, at Rumtek, was to become the seat in exile first occupied by the Sixteenth Karmapa.
		He nevertheless describes all actions by Situ Rinpoche with regard to the Karmapa as attacks on the Shamar Rinpoche "regency." This purported naive motivational analysis is wildly unbalanced, for "regency" in Tibet does not mean that the regent is heir to the wealth of the Karmapa.
		Since the Karmapa is often mentioned as important to the balance between China, India and the Tibetan government in exile, many news outlets have focused on the Karmapa's absence from the ceremony.

		It is said that the Black Hat of the Karmapas is the physical representation of a "spiritual crown" woven from the hair of 100,000 female deities and that when the Karmapa places it on his head, he has to hold it down with his hand to prevent it flying away.
		It was in a quest for the fabled Black Hat that the young 17th Karmapa Urgyen Trinley is said to have fled Chinese government oppression in Tibet in 2000, aiming to reach the Sikkim monastery that his predecessor, the 16th Karmapa, built after he fled from Tibet in 1959.
		Karmapa Urgyen Trinley's close circle reportedly is demoralized, and the young lama is under virtual house arrest by the Indian authorities in Gyuto Monastery just a few kilometers from the Dalai Lama's headquarters in the hill town of Dharamsala, according to Tibetan exile sources.

		Yet the court decision demonstrates that the procedures to regain control of the Karmapa's main seat outside Tibet, followed by Lama Tai Situ and others who were indirectly sanctioned by the Dalai Lama, were not legitimate.
		In contrast, the late 16th Karmapa was a thorn in the side of the Dalai Lama and his exile government, as he challenged their control over the Tibetan exile community.

		The "Kalimpong Karmapa" will be 21 in four years time and may very well decide, on the backing of his estimated 50,000 followers, to lay claim to the coveted "Black Hat".
		The late 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, the undisputed spiritual leader of the Karma Kagyu School, repeatedly had to defend the special qualities of the teachings of his school against frequent interferences of H.H. the Dalai Lama.

	Indian Supreme Court Awards Rumtek to Karmapa Charitable Trust - Kagyu Asia News
		When the case was heard, it became clear that Gyaltsab's group had no documentation to prove its stewardship of Rumtek, while the Karmapa Charitable Trust could produce minutes of meetings dating back to 1983 concerning its administration of the monastery after the death of the 16th Karmapa.
		Today's decision means that under the law of India, the Karmapa Trust is the rightful administrator of Rumtek and that no other group or organization has any jurisdiction over the monastery.
		The decision opens the way for the Karmapa Trust to ask the courts to evict the current, illegal occupants of Rumtek and conduct an inventory of the valuables stored there.
