Indian police question Buddhist spiritual leader

Karmapa Ogyen Trinley DorjeDharamsala, India: Police say authorities are investigating the source of a large amount of money found in a northern Indian Buddhist monastery, the headquarters of Tibetan Buddhism’s third most important leader.

D.S. Minhas, director general of police in Himachal Pradesh state, says police and revenue officials are tracking the source of about $777,000 that was found in the Gyuto monastery where the Karmapa lives.

Minhas said Saturday that much of the money was in Chinese yuan. Police have questioned Ugyen Thinley Dorje, the 17th Karmapa, about the source of the money.

Indian media have been carrying reports that the Karmapa could be a Chinese agent sent to India to become a leader of Tibetan Buddhists who have made their home in the northern Indian town of Dharmsala.

That’s chicken feed. The SGI threw a safe in the garbage that contained five million dollars.

It was $1.2 million, which is about $2.15 million, adjusting for inflation. Still, as you say it makes the Karmapa’s alleged stash look like petty cash.
