The Flight of a Karmapa - A Quest For The Mystic Crown


The Dalai Lama and China were unlikely partners in backing Ugyen Trinley as the 17th Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. A Pawn in the struggle for Tibet, the youth made a bold move to chart his own destiny with a secret trek to gain the Black Crown. A team of journalists retraces his story across the Himalayas from Tibet to Mustang, Rumtek in Sikkim and Dharamsala in a half-hour documentary, plus two short pieces: "Politics of Reincarnation" on the two rival Karmapas; and "Lost Child" on the real age of Ugyen Trinley.

The Dalai Lama's Involvement in the Karmapa Controversy


Never, in the history of the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism have the Dalai Lama's chosen the Karmapa, however, the 14th Dalai Lama sided with the Chinese to "officially" recognize their candidate! This has split the Kagyu tradition. But there is more. The CIA helped this Karmapa escape to India.

HH The 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje in Nagpur and Chandrapur 2011 "Bits and Pieces"


55 years ago on October 14th 1956, Dr. BR Ambedkar, known to the people of India as the "Father of the Constitution", organized a public ceremony for himself and his supporters in Nagpur where he took refuge in the "Three Jewels" and accepted the "Five Precepts" of the Buddhist tradition. After formally completing his own conversion, he then proceeded to convert some 500000 of his supporters, many of who were considered "Untouchables" in the Hindu "Caste System" like himself. Ambedkar believed that the Mahar people were an ancient Buddhist community of India who had been forced to live outside villages as outcasts because they refused to renounce their Buddhist practices. He considered this to be the reason they became known as "Untouchables" in the Hindu tradition, according to his book entitled Who were the Shudras?. He then traveled to Kathmandu, Nepal to attend the fourth World Buddhist conference. Coincidentally, 1956 also marks a historical moment in the life of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, when at the Invitation of the Mahabodhi Society of India and Jawaharlal Nehru throughout the Karmapa traveled from Tibet to India on pilgrimage in celebration of the 2500th anniversary of Buddha's Enlightenment. Since the mass conversion at Nagpur in 1956, there has been a continuous renaissance of Buddhism in it's homeland.
