The truth about the false allegations against the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje

  The primary goal of the Karmapa incident is to destroy the Karmapa and the Karma Kagyu lineage.

In 1992, followers of the 16th Karmapa, guided by instructions in his prophetic letter, affirmed Ogyen Trinley Dorje as the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa.
