Four StarsBy JakezVery interesting for whomever is connected with Karma Kagyu.6 of 8 people found the following review helpful. worthy storyBy LuelCanyonA really fascinating account of the split in the Karma Kagyu lineage. A great deal of detailed background information is provided regarding the events that have resulted in two claimants to the throne of the Black Karmapa. Lama Ole's international legacy of spiritual achievement speaks volumes; and that voice is significant. He seems to shun for himself a part in centuries of Tibetan political manoeuvering except insofar as any present machinations threaten or impede the mission given to him directly by the XVIth Karmapa. In the end; what does the controversy mean; does it matter? Buddhism holds in its means a rectitude to solve human conflicts; by healing individual lives. That has been Lama Ole and Hannah's life work. Is that disputable? Whatever else; practictioners must realize the wild human adventure in stories like this one. The book is literate; timelines are crafted with quick follow ease; and the tale it tells is; even through a great sadness; worthy of the Tathagata.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
