"His Holiness was recognized..
as the *reincarnation* of his predecessor
the 13th Dalai Lama,
and thus an incarnation Avalokitesvara,
the Buddha of Compassion."

- Office of Tibet

The Kamtsang or Karma Kagyu was founded by the first Karmapa, Dusum
Khyenpa (1110-1193). This tradition has remained strong and successful
due in large part to the presence of an unbroken line of
*reincarnations* of the founder, the successive Karmapas.

Philosophers are all caught up in their philosophies.
That's their house of cards.
Religious leaders are caught up in their religious movements,
to the point where they forget about freedom.
Everybody's got their drama going.
