An estimated 40 to 60 thousand supporters of the Karmapa turned out in Sikkim today, demanding that he be allowed to resume his seat at Rumtek.
As most readers are aware, the Seventeenth Gyalwa Karmapa, Orgyen Thinley Dorje, has been denied possession of his Black Crown and his rightful seat at Rumtek Monastery, through a combination of Sino-Indo-Tibetan political machination, and garden variety, woodenheaded, organized religion skulduggery.

The politics and "family feud" continue... So sad.
I second the motion and further motion that His Holiness be allowed to revisit his main seat here, in Woodstock New York, which is likewise afflicted by Oriental skullduggery -- that is to the extent that His Holiness cannot easily obtain re-entry to India -- not to mention by its own version of ecclesiastical intrigue. Without the Karmapa, American Buddhism risks stagnation and decline.
He is not allowed because he is not the true Karmapa
