His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje visiting the Googles Headquarters (the Googleplex) and giving a talk on "The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out"

Mountain View, California, America, 16 March, 2015

Se retiran los cargos contra el Karmapa

El gobierno regional de Himachal Pradesh (India) decidió ayer apartar a Su Santidad el 17º Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, de la investigación relacionada con la gran cantidad de dinero en efectivo en moneda de distintos países que fue hallada en su monasterio el año pasado.



“El gobierno regional ha decidido desvincular al líder espiritual tibetano de la acusación de tenencia ilegal de divisa extranjera por recomendación de los Ministerios de Interior y de Justicia”, ha expresado un representante del Ministerio de Interior, S. P. Singh, que ha declarado para AFP: “Hemos decidido retirar todos los cargos criminales contra el Karmapa. La policía y la fiscalía han investigado a conciencia todos los cargos y no han encontrado evidencias que hagan pensar que haya que abrir un caso contra él”.



En Dharamsala, un representante de la Oficina de Su Santidad ha declarado que la decisión es una muestra de su fe en la Justicia india: “Desde el principio expresamos confianza en el sistema legal indio. Teníamos confianza en que se conocería la verdad”.



Desde que el año pasado la policía realizase un registro en el monasterio del Gyalwang Karmapa en Dharamsala y encontrase una gran cantidad de dinero en moneda de distintos países, sus allegados siempre han mantenido que Su Santidad “no tiene relación, ni directa ni indirecta, con la administración de la oficina o sus fondos” y el monasterio asegura desde el primer momento que la presencia de todo el dinero es debido a los muchos donativos que reciben por parte de los seguidores del Karmapa, que lo ofrecen de forma voluntaria desde todas partes del mundo para mantener todos los programas sociales y espirituales de la orden Karma Kagyu.



Su Santidad el Karmapa cumplió veintiséis años en 2011 y vive en Dharamsala desde que escapó del Tíbet en 2000, cuando las autoridades chinas limitaron estrictamente su libertad de movimiento hasta el punto de no poder ofrecer enseñanzas o recibir transmisiones de sus propios maestros. Recientemente pudo completar su formación y recibir la totalidad de iniciaciones y transmisiones orales de la tradición Kagyu.



Al igual que Su Santidad el Dalai Lama, el Gwalyang Karmapa es considerado una manifestación directa de Chenrezig, el Bodisatva de la Compasión.

The 17th Karmapa on Environmental Buddhism

Back to the "starting point". Back to Child. Back to Animal. Back to God.

The 17th Karmapa on Environmental Buddhism

by Haze

“The question that remains is when will the intolerable moment occur for all of us? Will we allow the sea to rise and cover the Pacific islands and the Himalayas to be reduced to bare rock? Will we let amazing wildlife species become extinct and simply fade to a story that is told in future generations? Should thriving forests be turned into farmlands to meet our unending demands? Should we live with ever-growing mountains of garbage because we are unable to manage the effects of consumerism?”

I found this article that the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism’s spiritual leader, His Holiness The 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, wrote for “Conservation Biology” December issue to be very enlightening in explaining the relationship between Buddhist philosophy and environmental ideology.
I have inserted some excerpts from the article here and provided a link to the full article in its title below-
Ultimately, a call to action.

“Walking the Path of Environmental Buddhism through
Compassion and Emptiness”

“As I grew up and began studying Buddhist philosophy and teachings, I discovered great harmony between Buddhism and the environmental movement. The emphasis on biological diversity, including ecosystems—in particular, the understanding that animate and inanimate beings are parts of a whole—resonates closely with Buddhism’s emphasis on interdependence. The essence of Buddhism lies in the union of compassion and emptiness: the deeply felt dedication to alleviate the suffering of all living beings and the understanding that everything is devoid of self-nature. These two halves of a philosophical whole speak particularly to the goals of the environmental movement. Let me explain what I mean.

The most exalted example Buddhists use to explain compassion is motherhood. Consider all that your mother probably has done for you since the time you were conceived—carrying you for 9 months, experiencing the hardship of labor and birth, feeding and clothing you, taking care of all your needs, and worrying about you long after you reach adulthood. Most mothers never stop caring unconditionally for their children. Regardless of whether one believes in reincarnation or not, one can suppose that all living beings are like mothers to us. The food that appears in front of us at dinner was grown, packaged, and prepared by people we probably do not know. The clothes we are wearing were produced by people we probably will never meet. Yet we are benefiting from their hopes, dreams, and labor. Plants, animals, and raw materials have all been used to provide us these things. This is the interdependence that characterizes life—no one thing exists by itself alone, or can survive alone. We are all part of one world ecology and the world is extremely compassionate to us.

Emptiness, in contrast, can be best explained by using the example of the self. What do we imagine when we think of the self? Exactly where does the self reside? Is it in the heart or the brain? In the incoming breath or the outgoing breath? In the movement of our limbs? In our interaction or relationship with others? The self differs greatly at ages 15 and 25. Because it is impermanent and intangible, the self is empty of any inherent self-nature. And, because this is so, our happiness, our sadness, our successes, and our failures are also empty by nature. This does not mean that we are nothing, but that we are constantly moving, absorbing, and shedding. Consequently, we need not experience great attachment to our experiences and can develop equanimity regarding all phenomena. To experience this freedom from the conviction of a self and the self-importance it creates means that we can dispense with the artificial distinction between self and other and can be part of all phenomena everywhere.

How does this relate to the environment? According to Buddhism, ignorance of the empty nature of self and the rejection of compassion is the root cause of egotism, anger, attachment, and greed. Ignorance is why human beings have degraded the environment and are driving so many species to extinction. Ignorance causes us to place an excessive worth upon the self and anything related to it; my family, my possessions, my country, and even my race. Perceiving the diversity of the world through the limited lens of self means we can impose grave harm upon Earth without concern, because Earth has become “other.”” …

“During the last 100 years, over 95% of the world’s wild tigers (Panthera tigris) have vanished. As human needs have continued to expand, we have taken more and more from nature and left less and less for other animals. However, the magnificent tiger has almost completely disappeared due to consumer demand for its skin and body parts. We are driving a species to extinction simply because we believe wearing its skin makes us look wealthy or that consuming tiger parts will make us healthier. Doing such a thing is essentially non-Buddhist and uncompassionate—not only for the tiger, but also for ourselves, because this act is bound to have negative karmic consequences for us.

Compassion for the “other,” whether people, animal species, trees, or other plants, and for Earth itself, is the only thing that will ultimately save us human beings. Most people are primarily concerned about their work, wealth, health, or family. On a daily basis, they probably feel they have more urgent things to worry about than their environmental footprint. Of course, paying attention to this issue would mean having to make inconvenient choices and changes in their lives. I am not so different. Although I had considered giving up eating meat for many years, I became a complete vegetarian only a few years ago. Somebody presented a short documentary that showed how animals suffer before and during the act of killing. Watching it, I could feel the fear felt by the animals. Like a thunderclap, I became aware that these living beings were suffering so greatly simply to satisfy my habitual preferences. Eating meat became intolerable for me at that moment, and so I stopped.” …

“Finally, I believe that the very future of life on Earth depends on those of us who are privileged to live more simply. To live simply is to be compassionate to yourself and to the world. A life full of material goods and barren of compassion is quite unsustainable from an ecological and karmic point of view. Of course, advertisements are always telling us that the path to happiness lies in purchasing the goods they sell. How is it that the advertising convinces us even when we are skeptical of its message? Our attachment to our own happiness, possessions, family, and self creates a lack of perspective that makes us susceptible. However, if we can be mindful of the emptiness of self, we can create a space for choice rather than habitual consumerism. We don’t have to live a life that is sold to us—we can make the brave choice to live simply.”

mensaje del Karmapa ante las inmolaciones

Reuters) - One of Tibet's most senior exiled Buddhist leaders, the Karmapa Lama, appealed on Wednesday for Tibetans in China not to set themselves on fire, saying he hoped they found more constructive ways to advance their cause.
The Karmapa Lama fled Tibet in 2000 and lives in exile along with the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala in northern India, the center of the self-proclaimed Tibetan government-in-exile.
The Karmapa Lama said the 11 Tibetans who have set themselves alight so far this year in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan were "brave," acting in desperation "against the injustice and repression under which they live."
"The situation is unbearably difficult, but in difficult situations we need greater courage and determination," he said in an emailed statement.
"Each report of self-immolation from Tibet has filled my heart with pain," the Karmapa Lama said.
"In Buddhist teaching, life is precious. To achieve anything worthwhile we need to preserve our lives. We Tibetans are few in number, so every Tibetan life is of value to the cause of Tibet."
China has blamed the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Dalai Lama for the burnings, and repeated the government line that Tibetans are free to practice their Buddhist faith.
The Dalai Lama, whom China condemns as a supporter of violent separatism, in late October led hundreds of monks, nuns and lay Tibetans in prayer in his adopted homeland in India to mourn those who have burned themselves to death.
The Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet in 1959 after an abortive uprising against Chinese rule, denies advocating violence and insists he wants only real autonomy for his homeland.
The Karmapa Lama appealed to China to "heed Tibetans' legitimate demands and to enter into meaningful dialogue with them instead of brutally trying to achieve their silence."
The immolations have happened in two heavily Tibetan parts of Sichuan -- Ganzi and Aba -- where many see themselves as members of a wider Tibetan region encompassing the official Tibetan Autonomous Region and other areas across the vast highlands of China's wes

His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa Returns from american Dharma Tour

August 5, 2011 - Dharamsala, Gyuto

His Holiness successfully completed a three-week trip to the United States, returning today to Dharamsala. During his Dharma tour, His Holiness the Karmapa received the Kalachakra initiation from His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Washington, and visited his main monastic seat in North America, as well as other centers under his spiritual guidance in the New York area . This was His Holiness' second trip overseas since his escape in 2000 from Tibet to his adopted home of India.
"It was a long-cherished wish of mine to be able to receive the Kalachakra initiation from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I am very grateful to have had this opportunity to visit my Dharma centers overseas and participate in religious activities there," His Holiness said upon his arrival in Delhi. "I am also happy to be home."
"We are thankful to the Indian government for this unequivocal sign of its confidence in His Holiness the Karmapa," said Karma Chungyalpa, Deputy General Secretary, Karmapa's Office of Administration. "We also thank the Tibetan Central Administration for their support of His Holiness throughout this tour."
During his three-week stay in the United States, His Holiness was welcomed by his disciples, who had eagerly anticipated his visit. Thousands of disciples of the Gyalwang Karmapa were able to meet their spiritual master, receive his blessings and listen to his Dharma discourses. Throughout his visit, His Holiness offered the Dharma again and again, with multiple public teachings, including a two-day teaching and transmission at his KTD Monastery in Woodstock, NY, an Avalokiteshvara initiation requested by his center in New Jersey, KTC-NJ, as well as a talk at Hunter College for the Tibetan community of the New York area, among others. The Gyalwang Karmapa also visited the Karmae Ling retreat center, an affiliate of KTD Monastery in Delhi, NY, where a large group of his disciples are currently engaged in a strict three-year retreat.KTC

MUY IMPORTANTE

Proyección del documental del Retiro domingo, 19 de junio a las 18:00 Proyección del documental sobre el retiro (incluido como extra en el film BlowHorn) Explicación del proyecto monasterio por parte de la lama Tsondru y el lama Jinpa Gyamtso Colabora con tus ideas y propuestas para recaudar fondos. ¡Vuestra asistencia es muy importante para nosotros! Acumulaciones para la longevidad Anuncio de una ceremonia especial para la larga vida de los Señores del Refugio, los dos discípulos del corazón Aquellos que pertenecen al linaje del intrépido león de las nieves aportan bienestar a los demás con sus vidas longevas. Petición a los grandes bodhisattvas de que tengan largas vidas y enseñen el Dharma por el bien del Dharma de Buda y de los seres. Los que llevan los nombres Shamar, Situ, Jamgön y Gyaltsab son los cuatro discípulos del corazón que sostienen el linaje del decimosexto Gyalwang Karmapa, cuyo nombre es tan difícil de pronunciar: Rangjung Khyabdag Rigpe Dorje. De los cuatro, no tuvimos suficiente mérito para poder ver el rostro o escuchar la voz del tercer Jamgön Kongtrul, que era como un intrépido león. Sin embargo, los otros tres, y especialmente el Jamgön Vajradhara, el gran Goshri Tai Situ Kenting, y el Señor del Mantra Secreto Goshri Gyaltsab Rinpoché, mediante su bodhichitta y sus fervientes aspiraciones, aceptaron la pesada carga de proteger el linaje Karma Kagyu en una época de dificultades, podríamos decir. De acuerdo con la carta de predicción que dejó en su vida anterior, consiguieron que la reencarnación del decimosexto Karmapa brillara sobre nosotros, sus discípulos, como el sol al amanecer. En este mundo enturbiado, consecuencia natural de estos tiempos degenerados, hay que entender que es de una bondad inexpresable e inconcebible por su parte el hecho de que vivan y enseñen el Dharma e inunden por completo su cuerpo, habla y mente de innumerables, profundos y firmes actos de bodhisattva, tan difíciles de realizar. Coincidiendo con el 900 aniversario del nacimiento del glorioso Dusum Khyenpa que estamos conmemorando, el decimoséptimo Gyalwang Karmapa ve que es una ocasión especial, a la vez que una necesidad, recordar la bondad de estos dos Señores del Refugio y pedirles formalmente que no pasen al nirvana, sino que vivan largo tiempo. Su Santidad nos ha dado instrucciones, a los organizadores del 29 Monlam Kagyu, de que debemos celebrar una ceremonia especial. Por ello, el 8 de marzo del año próximo en el sagrado lugar de Bodhgaya, durante el mes de los milagros, en la mañana del 8º día del Monlam Kagyu Chenmo, el Gyalwang Karmapa y sus discípulos del corazón dirigirán a la gran concurrencia de sangha reunida en la práctica de las Postraciones y ofrendas a los dieciséis ancianos y ofrecerán una puja especial de larga vida a los dos Señores del Refugio, que combina sutra y tantra. Su Santidad el Gyalwang Karmapa ha notificado las siguientes instrucciones, por lo que os pedimos os las toméis en serio: A partir del día en que lean este anuncio y durante un año, todos los monasterios y centros de Dharma Karma Kagyu, y los discípulos que tienen relación con el Dharma y de samaya de todo el mundo, de oriente a occidente, estén donde estén, cerca o lejos, deberán suplicar con fervor mientras llevan a cabo las prácticas mencionadas en la lista que sigue, con fe y buenas aspiraciones. El comité organizador del Monlam Kagyu 15 de abril de 2011   Prácticas (Rogamos nos enviéis los totales de vuestras prácticas al final de cada mes para que podamos añadirlos a los totales mundiales) a acumulaciones@samye.es Pavimentar caminos, construir puentes Reparar o construir carreteras y puentes Cuatro lotes de tsatsas Hacer tsatsas de los cuatro elementos: tierra, aire, agua y fuego.

No Sting in the Monk’s Tale – Comment and Reply

May 8, 2011 in info | Tags: article, comment, reply

No Sting in the Monk’s Tale by Hartosh Singh for Open Magazine caused quite a lot of comments on Facebook. I wrote to Hartosh Singh about my concerns and received his reply.

Dear Hartosh,

Hope you are well. You may remember we met in Sarnath when you were researching this story.

I have to question you on two points:

The bar on Tai Situ was subsequently removed through the intervention of senior members of the NDA Government, but Indian intelligence agencies remain suspicious of his ability to maintain contact with the Chinese. His recent bids to forge close links with Indian Members of Parliament (MPs) along the entire Himalayan belt have also come in for scrutiny.

Where does this information come from?

FYI the Shamarpa (who is the regent who has opted out of the lineage by presenting his own candidate for Karmapa) planted these stories about Tai Situ Rinpoche being a Chinese spy mostly in the Indian Express in the late 90’s. The trouble for the Tai Situ has been on going ever since. Again, where is the evidence of “recent bids to forge close links with Indian MP’s along the entire Himalayan belt?”

At  least you should have asked the Tai Situ to comment on that so he has a chance to make a statement because it is not a well known or accepted fact and if true it would be a major story.

The second thing is the assumption that the Karmapa will don the mantle of the Dalai Lama in the course of time. Again, it is important to clarify this by asking the Karmapa himself if this is his intention or if he has any interest in doing so.

What no journalist seems to understand is that the Dalai Lama and the Karmapa are entirely separate in their lineages. One doesn’t replace the other and never has in the course of history. The Karmapas have no need to don the mantle of another leader. The Karmapas are simply the Karmapas, the activity of the Budddhas. It’s much more vast and global than just the leader of the Tibetans. The Karmapas activity has to do with all of humanity. In the Karmapa’s own words:

“I have the responsibility of being the spiritual leader of a lineage and I don’t need extra responsibility. I cannot do beyond what a human being can do. The name "Karmapa" means the one who takes responsibility for all the buddhas’ activities. This is overwhelming enough. I don’t need more.” The Guardian, December 1, 2010

The Karmapa has also said recently that the Dalai Lama is the sole leader of the Tibetans, meaning he is not going to share this role as the standby. OK, let’s make it even clearer. There can only be one Karmapa. There can only be one Dalai Lama. Their roles are clearly defined and quite separate. There is no crossover. The Dalai Lama is the leader of the Tibetans and until his reincarnation appears after his death, there can be no other leader of the Tibetans.

many thanks for your patience in reading this.
kind wishes and in all, a good article,

Naomi

Dear Naomi,

Am well, tks for the queries.

1.) In the article I make it clear that this is what the IB believes (and no one from the IB will actually be quoted on this !), which is not to say that it is true. This is an explanation for what was going on, not a justification.

2.) I think the article makes it clear that the lineages are separate (and I have no reason to be unclear on this after the time I spent in Sarnath), which is why it points out that after the Dalai Lama there will be an interregnum till the next reincarnation actually attains the maturity needed to don the mantle. The Tibetan movement cannot live with that vacuum for twenty years. There is no other conceivable figure who could take his place as a symbol for an entire people. That ahs nothing to do with the tradional roles of the Dalai Lama and the Karmappa, I do not mean replacing him in the traditional sense but in the sense of what he today symbolises to the world.

I hope that helps answer the queries you have.

Best,
Hartosh
