Tibet’s Holy Man In Waiting
For example?
For example, patience. His life is very hard. He must be patient, and he has lots of patience. This is an important lesson. Sometimes if I am a little bit sad or I have problems, I go see him. And after meeting him, the problems disappear and I forget them. There is a spiritual power in him. Every time I see him I come back happy.
Can Tibetans live under Chinese rule?
It is difficult to say. When we are in India, we always talk negatively about the Chinese. All information about Tibet and the Chinese is negative, nothing positive. But the situation needs to be examined and investigated thoroughly. We need more information. We have to think about the positive side for the future of China and Tibet.
Do you see any positives right now?
It is difficult to say. Maybe you journalists should investigate.
Chinese government officials continue to attack the Dalai Lama, accusing him of fomenting trouble. What would you like to tell them?
They should examine and investigate themselves. However much we try to explain, it never fulfills their wishes. They never trust. They get more doubtful. So they should investigate themselves.
Is it true that you criticized patriarchy in some Buddhist communities?
Not criticism, just an observation. In some Asian countries, men have all the control and power. From a Buddhist point of view, men and women are equal. All sentient beings are capable of attaining enlightenment, so obviously women can. But sometimes some traditional cultures hold the wrong view, that men are more powerful. That is not correct.
What would you like to tell the Tibetans living in Tibet?
It is difficult to express in words. I hope that just my living in this world should be for the benefit of all sentient beings, including all Tibetans. If it is not, then also it is OK. But I always hope that my life benefits all Tibetans.

It is high time that Tibetan Spiritual Leader lead the Tibetan People in Exile and inside Tibet to right path, save side, peace in mind, don???t cause so much conflict with China.. HH Karmapa is right bridge between Tibet-china and also between India-China. Who can explain it? Answer: Tibetans inside Tibet and in Lhasa, not in India.. If India like to open Indian Embassy in Lhasa? 01. bring Bharatnatyam in Lhasa? Bring HH Karmapa Urgyen Trinley to Rumtek.. Indian Embassy in Lhasa is OK in Lhasa? It is very natural also?? Tibet is happy., India is happy and it will not cause any harm or pain to China? Why Bharatnatyam? Please write me?? Indian Culture is motther of all our cutlure in Asia? World?? Indian presents for Tibetans inside Tibet?? Wangyal Berlin 13. Juli 2009
