Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje and Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorjee, the two heads of the Karma Kagyu lineage, are working together to recognise the reincarnation of lineage holder Shamar Rinpoche. Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorjee said it is “extremely important” that there is no “mistake or confusion” to avoid the destruction of “all the majesty and power of over nine hundred years of history”.
