Yup. Sure is quiet… like the calmness after a storm!

I thought the timing for the money scandal and handing over of power was just too close. Maybe just coincidence or was it staged to show it is time now to separate spiritual and political matters.

I find something interesting.

After the Karmapa money scandal, I don’t hear about him ‘succeeding’ the Dalai Lama anymore. Now it’s let’s elect our leaders.

Even the Dalai Lama is handing his power over to newly elected lay officials and not Karmapa although I don’t think Karmapa was ever part of the real equation of succession anyways. It was just speculation. Why would all sects follow Karmapa? Not viable.

Does anyone else notice after the big money scandal all has been quiet about Karmapa succession speculations

The Karmapa spy issue will certainly take attention away from the Dorje Shugden issue. At least for a while. I agree with the Dalai Lama that all monetary donations should be kept in a trust. The trust fund should be completely transparent and should be used wisely for worthy causes like building monasteries and helping needy people. This will create good karma for Karmapa and the Tibetan people. It is obvious the administration of the Karmapa did not handle their financial resources in a proper manner.

This just shows clearly the karma comes back. What goes around comes around. The Tibetan Govt always accuses Dorje Shugden people as being spies for China or backed up by China with zero proof. The Indian federal govt has proof of the money coming into Karmapa all in Yuan in the millions.

Now the Tibetan govt has to find another method to attack the Shugdenpas as calling their own ppl as traitors backed up by China is not going to work anymore. They should remain silent.
