The 39th Kagyu Monlam Chenmo The 39th Kagyu Monlam will be held from February 1 to 12th, 2025, in Bodh Gaya, India, and the annual event is a significant gathering in the Kagyu tradition, attracting followers from around the world.  The detailed schedule of activities and the presiding masters for the Kagyu Monlam has not yet been announced.  Based on the photos on the poster, the presiding master on the throne is His Holiness the 17th Karmapa. It will be of extraordinary significance if the Karmapa comes to the scene in person and presides over the 39th Kagyu Monlam, which means that the "Karmapa Incident" is expected to bring to a successful conclusion this year. The appearance of the Karmapa will strongly prove his innocence, reveal the baselessness of the slander against him, and strengthen the faith of many believers in him. 《Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act》 On June 21, 2024, three days before His Holiness Dalai Lama was going to the United States f

Judicial enforcement of justice Since 2009, the True Enlightenment Education Foundation, led by Hsiao Pingshi, has been engaged in various activities in Taiwan to defame and slander His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism. This prolonged and continuous campaign of defamation has caused significant distress to Tibetan Buddhist believers in Taiwan. To defend the innocence of Tibetan Buddhism and His Holiness Dalai Lama, the Tibetan Government in Exile, represented by the Tibetan Religious Foundation of His Holiness Dalai Lama in Taiwan, filed a lawsuit against the True Enlightenment Education Foundation in April 2011. After eight years of litigation, justice was finally served, and the court ruled in favor of the Tibetan Religious Foundation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, declaring the True Enlightenment Education Foundation’s defeat. "Litigation against Hsiao Pingshi and the True Enlightenment Education Foundation began around April 2011 when the complaint was filed. On A

Bodhisattva Mastery over Life and Death Bodhisattvas, driven by their vows to benefit sentient beings, transcend the binds of birth and death, having complete control over their incarnations. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has reiterated that as long as the Tibetan people and humanity need him, he will remain in this world. His Holiness expressed many times that he will live to the age of 113, embodying the mastery over life and death as a great Bodhisattva. In his teachings in 2021, the Karmapa expressed that he will have a long life in this incarnation and spread the Dharma and benefit sentient beings worldwide. The 17th Karmapa believes that if the 16th Karmapa could remain in this world for an extended period, many issues regarding inheritance could be avoided. The Karmapa, fulfilling his vows, reincarnates with mastery over life and death, residing in this world for the benefit of sentient beings for a prolonged period.

The False Karmapa Allegations: The Stance of His Holiness Dalai Lama and Tibetan Government-in-Exile

Since the eruption of the Karmapa incident in early 2019, many people have been puzzled as to why Karmapa did not come forward to clarify. However, Karmapa stated early on, "I think we shouldn't respond officially; it would help them." Karmapa's silence has led to misunderstandings among many. However, this is a complex political issue. Karmapa must face this dangerous situation with wisdom, composure, and rationality to avoid falling into traps and causing irreparable harm. In addition, some people think His Holiness the Dalai Lama should express his views on this incident. However, His Holiness Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile have issued important statements supporting the Karmapa in 2022. (Note: We overlooked such an important statement at the time.)

Kagyu Monlam The Karma Kagyu tradition annually conducts the Winter Kagyu Gunchoe debate conference, the Arya Kshema Spring Dharma Gathering, and the Kagyu Monlam Prayer, representing the most prominent traditional events. In recent years, due to the impact of the pandemic, these ceremonies have transitioned to online platforms. At the end of 2023, the winter debate was held in Bodhgaya, with an increased participation of Buddhist schools compared to pre-pandemic times. This surge led to overcrowding at the Tergar Monastery, with some attendees having to sit in the monastery corridors. The Karmapa noted that many Kagyu Buddhist schools had been destroyed over the past hundred years. He emphasized that the Kagyu Buddhist schools are now in good condition in all aspects and called on the monks to make good use of this opportunity. He believed there was no better learning opportunity than now, so he encouraged the monks to seize the opportunity and study in depth. The 38th Kagyu Monlam Pr
