"The Himachal Pradesh government today gave a clean chit to Karmapa Ugyen Trinely Dorji in a foreign currency seizure case, saying he has no links with the money seized from his transit home near Dharamsala.
"The huge foreign currency recovered during raids from the Gyuto Monastery, the transit home of the Karmapa, are donations and offerings from devotees and the Karmapa has no links with it as the affairs of the trust are managed by trustees," Chief Secretary Rajwant Sandhu told reporters here.
"The Karmapa is a revered religious leader of the Buddhists and the government has no intentions to interfere in religious affairs of the Buddhists," she said, adding there was no question of any action against the Karmapa and also no reason to believe that he has links with the foreign currency seizure to the tune of Rs 7.5 crore from Sidhbari.
When asked whether there was any chance of the Karmapa "being arrested" in connection with the seizure, she said there was "zero" possibility of any such thing happening.

"Fame and notoriety are both no more than an empty echo. Your reputation is an alluring mirage that can easily lead you astray. Discard it without a second thought, like the snot you blow from your nose." -- Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
I like your blog to, it is very thorough and very kind of you to present all this very helpful informtaion to us. But please explain to me why you use a title which does give a sense of fame to you, which is not really your title, why bother? all the best to you, jenny
Eye of the beholder, dearie. Eye of the beholder.
your funny, from jenny
I guess you know by now that the 'clean chit' has been withdrawn - terrible news...but sadly not surprising
There is proximate instability in the Chief Minister's office.
Yes, because someone involved in what is being done, by perpetrating it, has to be unstable and probably will become more so........due to the natural repercussions of this kind of action and i guess that goes for all who are involved in this, known and not known.....except of course to themselves.

I recently discovered your blog through the link someone posted on the Time article on HH Karmapa. Since then I have been hooked into it. It is very informative and helpful. Thank you very much for it. As for the people hell bent on discredting HH, I only have to say that 'Karma' will get them sooner than later.
Like your Dilgo Khyentze Rinpoche comment...you provide rare occassions to have a gigle in these dark days.
In any case 'By the power of Love everything is possible ...' Jimi sang and HHK17 has that power...
