Minling Khenchen Rinpoche's letter for Buddha Dorjechang III ?

Post by yagmort »

i don't know what to make out of it. in one of the topics on this Buddha Vajradhara/Dorje Chang III there is the info that he bribed someone from Sakya Dehradun to forge a letter.

here's another letter, from Minling Khenchen Rinpoche dated 2008.

it is translated as:
CONGRATULATORY LETTER
His Holiness Buddha Vajradhara III Yangwo Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu has magnificently spread the Buddha-dharma. A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma manifests perfect mastery of the Five Vidyas. It will cause the Buddha-dharma and especially the Vajrayana dharma to flourish. It will restore dharma that had faded and will cause the growth of dharma that has not yet faded. In these last five hundred years of the DharmaEnding Age, it will allay all of the disasters of living beings who are in the midst of suffering. It will even cause living beings to realize the ultimate fruit of Buddhahood.
May all living beings have such wonderful karmic conditions!
Khenchen IX Awang Khyentse Norbu

It is all photoshopped and faked. He used to have DL, HHST etc with letters on his site, too. So I would imagine all of the rest are also faked.

Jeez. This is truly the dharma degeneration age of the Kali Yuga. Unfortunate that people get involved with these characters.

Do you think "Buddha Vajradhara III Yangwo Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu" seems like a serious Dharma teacher? Is that why you are asking?

I thought we had site policy to not discuss certain egregious frauds, of which this is one?
