I am pretty sure that Sharmapa Rinpoche being the 2nd highest ranked Lama in Kagyu sect would have enough clairvoyance to be able to determine the authenticity of the Trinley Thaye Dorje reincarnation. with due respect to the HHDL, i am somewhat puzzled by this and may i suggest this is another religion political power play? But then again, i strongly object the enforcement of the ban on Dorje Shugden practice. i feel Tibetans or any other people in the world will have the same right of practising religious freedom. Besides, there have been too much controversial issues and conflicting actions from HHDL re the ban. it is totally not right to actually ‘disrespect’ (under this circumstance) the tradition of other sects.

I have been working with some ordained sangha in India and there are whisperings and feelings among some of them that the dalai lama is trying to establish himself as a single ruler of all Buddhism, across all the sects. Creating splits within the schools destabilises them, so that he can then have a stronger hold on all of them to "unify" them under his single rule. With the Shugden controversy and the two karmapas, it does seem that way. It sounds like the historical Chinese emperors who split up smaller states and killed off their rules so that they could unite the whole country until their single rule! It sounds very archaic.

The Gelugpas are having a hard time with the ban and now the CTA wants to discredit Kagyu's tradition that have been practiced for so many years by disrespecting the Kagyu's privacy. It is so sad to hear about this. Already bad enough that HH banned Tibetan DS practitioners from everything, now CTA want put their nose into everything they can put their hands on to as well?
