GANGTOK, 29 Jan: Karmapa claimant Dawa Sangpo Dorje, at a press conference here today, welcomed a decision he ascribed to Trinley Thaye Dorje of holding a ‘test’ to find out who the actual 17th Karmapa is. He was responding to a news-report in a Nepali daily which quoted Trinley Thaye Dorje as saying that he was prepared to face any test to authenticate his position as the Karmapa.
“I am happy that finally Trinley Thaye Dorjee has accepted and spoken on the issue of ‘holding an examination’ to find out who the actual 17th Karmapa is,” he said, while speaking to media persons and added that this should be done as soon as possible so that there is no confusion either in the minds of the people or the Buddhist community at large.
He also contended that the Government of India should now take a call on this proposal and stated that the matter should not rest in the hands of the Tibetan Government in-exile.
