I'm looking on the bright side. If things go south for him in India maybe he WON'T follow in HHDL's footsteps and will come live in America!

1.The problem isn’t ‘ignorance’. The problem is the mind you have right now. (H.H. Karmapa XVII @NYC 2/4/18)
2. I support Mingyur R and HHDL in their positions against lama abuse.
3. Student: Lama, I thought I might die but then I realized that the 3 Jewels would protect me.
Lama: Even If you had died the 3 Jewels would still have protected you. (DW post by Fortyeightvows)

What wound up becoming of this? Anyone know?

The whole thing is ridiculous, as tons of people put money in the donation boxes at all different temples across India, and half the time it's in their local currency. I certainly donated some U.S. dollars at various points, and saw people stuffing Chinese Yuan and lots of other types of money in there.

I think they need to put all the Hindu and Buddhist temples, Muslim masjids and all other places of worship under the same scrutiny if they're going to do this to the Tsurphu Labrang as they exist at Gyuto. Indirectly this could be seen as a slap in the face to Gyalwa Rinpoche (HH the 14th Dalai Lama), as Gyuto is really his monastic college, and he offered the Gyalwang Karmapa the ability to live there indefinitely until he can return to Rumtek...

"The Sutras, Tantras, and Philosophical Scriptures are great in number. However life is short, and intelligence is limited, so it's hard to cover them completely. You may know a lot, but if you don't put it into practice, it's like dying of thirst on the shore of a great lake. Likewise, a common corpse is found in the bed of a great scholar." ~ Karma Chagme
