Kagyu Office Announcement
January 29, 2011. Dharamsala

We would like to categorically state that the allegations being levelled against the Karmapa and his administration are grossly speculative and without foundation in the truth. Everyone who knows the history of our lineage, our struggle and His Holiness' life is very surprised by the allegations.


We categorically deny having any link whatsoever with any arm of the Chinese Government. The Karmapa has a deep affection for the people of this great country of India where he has been practicing his faith for years. We have had a long and positive working relationship with the democratic Government of India that has always demonstrated great tolerance of cultural expression and diverse beliefs.

We have followers in a large number of countries who have placed their trust and faith in us and, through their individual donations, enabled the sect to undertake substantial programmes of public service that have benefitted many thousands in India and abroad.

Monasteries across the world accept offerings from devotees in various forms-there is nothing surprising, new or irregular in this. . A representative of HH the Dalai Lama's office underlined this yesterday. The cash in question under the current investigation by the police is offerings received for charitable purposes from local and international disciples from many different countries wishing to support His Holiness' various charitable activities. Any suggestion that these offerings were to be used for illegal purposes is libellous.

At this point, about the Chinese currency we can say that his Holiness has a large following of Tibetans from Tibet who make donations in Chinese currency. The fact is that His Holiness the Karmapa has millions of followers around the world, who hold him in the highest esteem and reverence. All our dealings across the world are honest and completely transparent-anything else would be contrary to the Buddhist principals that we live by.


Because the Gyalwang Karmapa resides in temporary quarters in Dharamsala, his Office of Administration has been seeking to build a monastery as a permanent residence for His Holiness. This project is clearly subject to Indian government approval. The Gyalwang Karmapa's office has kept the relevant Indian government agencies fully informed of its recent plans to purchase suitable land. The potential site was evaluated and cleared by the appropriate governmental offices. The negotiations to purchase the land are still in progress, have been reported to the Indian authorities, and are completely above board.


I can confirm that Shakti Lama was taken into custody yesterday but we are confident of his release very shortly, as soon as we provide the law with the answers they are looking for. I can also confirm that HH the Karmapa has made himself fully available for questioning by the officers concerned.

We will supply as much information as available, as regularly as possible but would also like to state that our first priority is to cooperate fully with the investigations underway.

Issued by Karmapa Office of Administration

  • @12gigiJAbomBOMba No U r wrong.These scamers can mostly fool the chinese.Chinese are the most foolest race on the planet after animals.

  • @petagonk The world is sometimes a very ironic place! The smartest ppl r sometimes the most easiest ppl to fool! For example, those spam emails, which I am sure u've received b4, sent from Africa saying they have large sums of inheritance n that they need ur help to get it. I saw this on 60 mins ,n its LAWYERS n DOCTORS in America who falls for that scam the most!! LOL ... Having said that! I think those elite ppl that believe in the Dal Lia are those Doctors n Lawyers in America!

  • @12gigiJAbomBOMba

    Millions cannot be fool follow to Dalai Lama. From ordinary people to top neuroscientist and physicist in world believe, trust and respect Dalai Lama.

    Not faggot like you see his gleam and shining glory.

  • This shows the standard of Indian media. While crook Indian politicians and babus stashes crores in swiss bank from corruption but blames vulnerable Karmapa who is refugee for the honest donation from his followers throughout the world.

    Buddhism is an international religion unlike only Indians can be Hindu.

  • Indian media allegation without any proof.

  • HHDL received a letter in April, 2011 frm followers to accept that Thaye Dorje is the authentic & only Seat Holder of Rumtek.

    Why is HHDL involved in this controversy in the Karma Kagyu sect?

    Shouldn't this situation be left to kagyupas to resolved?

    There has been long standing conflict & controversies within Rumtek & this letter states that HHDL's support towards Situ Rinpoche's activities, believed to be collaborated wth China.

    See letter posted on the dorjeshugden(dot)com news section.

  • Some of the Indian medias lives on rumors and creating accusations. They are nothing better than that.

  • @456inthemix

    Aren't we all humans? Communists, democrats, socialist, dictators, cults or what not are all conceived by the human mind and with it comes all the flaws n wonders of human nature. What? Don't tell me democrats don't kill or Communists don't have families. A gov't is only as good as the people that runs them. Its results of governing that matters not the label of it. If democrats can lift 500 + million CHinese out of extreme poverty, "Hey my friend!", I am all for them as well.

  • @12gigiJAbomBOMba - and also CCP China, a party dictator :-)

  • People donate money instead of materials because it is easy way of practicing

    Dhana. Many signs around the Buddhist holy places say "No Donations"

    people still do it. Who account for the foreign currencies, US dollars, dropped into

    those boxes? These placed are governed by Indian monks. Ask them where they put those foreign currencies ? Could we demand their accounting ?We donated  water wells, blankets, food to the neglected Indians around these holy places. Wake up Indian journalists.
