Title: An inelegant propaganda book :)
Review: With this book Lea Terhune, Tai Situ Rinpoche's secretary, simply takes several factious old assertions unsupported by facts and courts and proposes them again, but to a broader audience... it's just like trowing more mud on the mud and it's really nothing new in the Karmapa Controversy. In my opinion it's a very biased book simply stubbornly expressing -only one- of the controversy factions' views... very interesting is the fact that THIS BOOK HAS BEEN RESPONDED POINT BY POINT on the international - KARMAPA-ISSUE dot ORG - website. I suggest everyone to read both the book ALONG WITH the responses to it... it will surely be of great help in building up a fair personal point of view :)
Is the review positive or negative?
