Sometimes our
enemies can give the best advice. If

by how difficult it is to acquire.
How do you decide
whether or not to do something? Ask yourself how much benefit the activity is
likely to bring.
The Karmapas are
Tibet's great wisdom teachers, the oldest lineage in Tibetan Buddhism, going
back to the 11th century, and the first to introduce the practice of
identifiable reincarnation.
