Please don't remove the reference to the Karmapa Controversy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a polemic of religious tracts. Rinpoche ( talk) 14:29, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Akong Rinpoche seems to have interesting relationships with official Chinese institutions. He works with the No.4 in the Chinese Politbureau (Jia Qinglin), and he was in Lhasa at the invitation of the Chinese during the 60th anniverasry of the "Peaceful Liberation" of Tibet( talk) 15:37, 17 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chinawatcher12 ( talk • contribs)
Very interesting is also the fact that Akong Rinpoche's relations to the Communist Chinese are so developed that they called him a "living Buddha" - a title that is being given to collaborating lamas.( talk) 19:36, 23 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chinawatcher12 ( talk • contribs)
I regularly volunteer at Kagyu Samye Dzong London, a Tibetan Buddhist centre affiliated to the Kagyu Samyé Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre in Scotland. This centre regularly hosts Chöje Akong Tulku Rinpoche (that is how they present his full title) as an invited teacher:
http://london.samye.org/london/kagyu/teachers/akong_rinpoche.shtml
There might be some merit in clarifying that although Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, Akong Rinpoche's brother, has taken over his duties as abbott of Kagyu Samye Ling, and now plays a more direct role in overseeing the activities of all the Kagyu Samye Dzong centres affiliated to it worlwide, Akong Rinpoche seems to be still very active in teaching and performing ceremonies in these centres (such as the empowerments that are considered necessary, in the Karma Kagyu lineage, before Buddhists can take up deity practices ( sadhanas) such as Green Tara, Guru Rinpoche, Nyungney or Thousand-Armed Chenrezig). MrAgs ( talk) 18:37, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
I have checked in Trungpa's biography 'Born in Tibet' in which it describes how both Akong and Trungpa in their escape to India indeed had to boil and eat leather boots and bags to prevent starvation. This can be found on p.224 in the fourth edition. Therefore can the 'unreliable source' unreliable source? be removed?

According to Samye Ling's facebook page/twitter Akong Rinpoche has been assassinated today in Chengdu. His nephew and a monk was also killed. The Karmapa's office has sent a condolence message here. 161.17.0.1 ( talk) 15:16, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
The majority of online references use the phrase assassinated, or 'assassinated', but a minority say killed or murdered. I have changed (not reverted!) the word murdered to 'Assassinated' in quotes to better fit the sources. We will find out more information as time goes on, but not too much more will come to light, but I would hope that a reference goes up soon with more details. Buckethed ( talk) 20:05, 9 October 2013 (UTC) edited to remove speculation I had put in; left the thing re: assassination although I agree we should just leave it as killed, or murdered, unless any new information comes up.

The article for Dolma Lhakang has been deleted; I can't find a deletion review - instead it was deleted unilaterally by an admin. Can anyone contribute some wikipedia-level references re: Dolma Lhakang; once we have these references, the page can be replaced (including the media that I have saved on my computer) with appropriate references to stop this happening again! Thank you :) Buckethed ( talk) 06:02, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
Dear friends,
Akong Rinpoche is often referred to as Dr Akong Rinpoche, but I can't find in any of his biography that he actually studied at an university. Who can tell me where he obtained the title? Is it a honorific PHD? best yeshe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeshe108 ( talk • contribs) 13:20, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
