【Explanation from Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche】
1/28/2019
Today I want to explain one thing to the temples, Buddhist colleges, and retreat centers in Tibet and overseas, as well as to believers in the first and second Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, especially whether it is related to me in the secular or Buddha Dharma.
Some people should have known about this recent incident, which is the case; a girl from Taiwan said, "I sent her to the Karmapa and asked her to seduce him with beauty.” She reported in a weekly magazine in Taiwan.
That girl has been here for some years. It belongs to one of the various believers who came to me. She is not a particular student or a staff member under my leadership. She asked me a few years ago, "I'm going to meet Karmapa. Is it okay? "I said, of course. It is not just Karmapa. No matter who says, "I want to meet other Khenpo, or a guru, etc." I certainly will not stop them, and I will be happy for them. Regardless of the identity of men and women, I have never stopped.
On the one hand, if you stop in the way of "you can't meet another guru," it will become a scourge factor, which I know very well.
I have personally met the HH Karmapa about seven times in this life. We all met in front of the public or during the event. We did not have the opportunity to sit down and chat slowly. Therefore, I am not very close to the HH Karmapa, whether secular or the Dharma.
Because of this, not only did I not send this woman to Karmapa, but I never even thought about it that way. Today I would like to advise that there have been four generations of Dharma and Samaya between the Karmapa, the first and the second Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. I believe that Karmapa is a great master who can carry forward Dharma and benefit all beings, now and in the future.
Because of the recent incident, when the believers saw such reports in the media such as the Internet and television, the believers of the two parties might write letters or remarks that denigrated each other because they trusted in their teachings and their teachers. If so, this is the real "obstacle."
So I, at this moment, call on everyone who has a relationship with the First and Second Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and myself. Please do not write or discuss statements that disparage each other. I now plead, again and again, if anyone has such slander against us, please do not slander the other side. Shortly, the woman's actions, character, nature, and the actual situation will gradually show up, and then we will know the real problem.
I wish you all a Happy New Year of the Pig.
