I think I've been to that traditions monastery in Upstate NY. If I remember correctly there was some controversy surrounding who the real incarnation was or something like that.




Not really - Trinley Thaye Dorje is and has always been an illegitimate fraud. Ogyen Trinley Dorje is the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa.

Haha there is always something negative to see if that's all your looking for. :wink:




Like the implications of finding more than $1 million in cash at the Karmapa's headquarters?

Search your state for a local Dhammasala and often times you can go there for as long as you'd like for free. Usually you can stay at least 10 days without anyone caring, but I'd suggest trying to do some work for them after that. Bed, food, and meditation classes with legit monks.

There's one in Perry, MI that I'm familiar with so I know they do this first hand but I'm not sure how lenient all the Dhammasalas are :confused:
