So you are saying that the 16th Karmapa's omniscience is demonstrably try in the same way that it is demonstrably true that two groups of two pebbles added together makes four pebbles and never five?
You are saying that it is demonstrably true the same way evolution can be mathematically proven?
You are saying is demonstrably true in the same way that gravitation is demonstrably true?
How is the 16th Karmapa's omniscience demonstrably true? Really, I am all ears.
Do you even have to ask?
I'm guessing you haven't spent that much time with the Kamtsang.
Anecdotal tales do not constitute proof.
To be redundant, in your opinion.
Well, my teachers aren't liars, nor deluded, but you can feel free to think they are.
I would gather even many of your own teachers greatly respect The Karmapa, I hope it rubs off.
It's like HH the 14th dalai lama mentioned once when talking about his friend who is a master of the Taklung kagyu. He was saying how this master described a very impressive vision to him which would be hard to believe for others perhaps, but he said that he is indeed a very honest person who does not lie in any way, and so there is no fault in believing him.
The stories I am talking about are from very reliable and trustworthy sources, people who are honest, and in some cases literally slept in the bedroom of the 16th karmapa, but feel free to believe your own doubt, over those who were there.
