Possible Heir to Dalai Lama Cleared of Corruption Charges

A young Tibetan lama, recognized by the Dalai Lama as the 17th Karmapa, a top spot in the Tibetan religious hierarchy of reincarnated leaders, has been caught up for the past month in legal scandal. This article goes to say that the main surprise of this whole ordeal is not the actual crime that the Karmapa and his village is being accused of but rather why is he being targeted?
the initial crime that they are being charged on is warehousing Chinese money in monks' dwellings. Many say the widely-hyped investigation was an indication of the strain between India and China regarding Tibet, and an ominous suggestion of trouble to come for the Tibetan culture-in-exile once the Dalai Lama, now 75, is gone.
Apparently donations came in small notes from different countries. Helpers and translators were accepting and writing down each transaction in great detail, the names of the people, for whom they were praying for, and for what reason. This seemingly innocuous religious exercise last month snowballed into startling news after police seized more than a million dollars in cash at the Karmapa’s makeshift headquarters near Dharamsala in North India.After the money was seized, all the key figures in the state, including the head of the police, were seen on television, joined forces and declared him guilty long before the investigation was over. A few weeks later, he was acquitted of any wrong doings... but yet the media and many from india and china have been struggling to let it past.
I am truly shocked that governments can riffle and skew things about such a important man. Frankly he was cleared of all of his charges, but then was victimized even further, without any real justification for doing so. This basically was a fulll political war in which a important tibetan lama was caught in the cross fire. one important thing that this whole thing did through was bring some light onto what is really happening within the government platforms, which could help clear some stuff up, and make law making and communication better. If it was any other average person I don't think that they could have checked out so clearly than the Lama....so? it was probably a positive thing that it was him being victimized.
