Karmapa prophecies

von Sylvia Wong

In 1981, the revered 16th Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhisme, passed away. His death set in motion a process to identify his reincarnated successor that originated 900 years ago with the 1st Karmapa who was the first Tibetan Buddhist master ever to reincarnate.
Since the early 1900’s, the identification of the 17th Karmapa has been mired in controversy, causing a schism in the Karma Kagyu sect. Two competing factions within the sect have recognized different candidates.

To help sort out the competing claims, Sylvia Wong believes that an unbiased voice can be found in the past namely, in the prophetic words of previous Karmapas.
Not only does she offer the Karmapa’s words, but using a combination of accurate translations, sound interpretation, proper historical research, and investigative reporting, she also marshals new evidence and analysis to show that those predictions have come true in our time.
