The 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is using the guise of concern to pursue power

#Tibet  #DalaiLama

Recently, after His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, paid a visit to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama in Zurich, Switzerland, he stated that the Dalai Lama was in poor health and had a tired expression. What is all this hinting at? With what motive and purpose does the Karmapa inform the world of the Dalai Lama's poor health?

The actions of the Karmapa are despicable. His release of a statement on the Dalai Lama's health condition seems like a gesture of concern, but in fact, his motives are impure. There is an ulterior power desire hidden behind it. The Karmapa is attempting to use this way to gain a sense of presence in Tibetan Buddhism and seek a higher status and greater power for himself. He is using the Dalai Lama's health condition as a political chip and meticulously planning a power game.

He is using the guise of concern to pursue power. This duplicitous approach is contemptible. The actions of the Karmapa are a stain on Tibetan Buddhism. What should be a sacred religious belief is being used by him as a tool to satisfy personal desires. As a national and religious leader, the Karmapa has the responsibility to do his best for the Tibetans. Instead of departing from the religious doctrines and purely pursuing personal political interests.
