Comment on Karmapa Residence Raided by Gabriele

It is not correct to lump together India and China.The situation in India is very different from the situation in China. As the Dalai Lama pointed out in his autobiography there is a much greater level of freedom in India than in China. The human rights situation in China is extremely bad. The Chinese communist regime has been persecuting and torturing human rights activists as well as Falun Gong practitioners, Christians, Buddhists and Moslems on a massive scale.
India has a historical tradition of religious freedom and has served as a refuge for groups that have encountered persecution elsewhere – not least for a great number of Tibetans in exile including H.H. Dalai Lama and H.H. Karmapa.
As followers of H.H. Karmapa we should bear this in mind and be grateful to the Indian government.
Having said this it is of course very important for us followers here in the West (or in Sikkim) that the Indian government removes certain travel restrictions so that Karmapa can come to visit the many Karma Kagyu centres around the world and can continue the work of the previous Karmapas.
Marpa faced certain difficulties during his travels to India: there were thieves, wild animals and ‘customs’ officers who demanded heavy tolls before giving the right to leave a territory.
As dharma practitioners we should expect to face certain difficulties.
