Althought I did the best to verify my informations, in some cases I published some erroneous information. I sincerly apologize.

Vol. 1, first edition 2018:
P. Next Bodhgaya, he visted the sanctuary of the six-armed Mahakala Chadrugbpa, not of the four-armed Mahakala Chagshipa.
P. 131: “Jigme Rinpoche recounts that Karmapa gave the Mahamudra transmission only after midnight, when he had finished his daily tasks.”
This information, based on an account in Buddhismus Heute, is wrong. Jigme Rinpoche says that he never said this. And of course taught in all kind of situations, also the Mahamudra, as is documented in the chapter “How Karmapa Taught” in Vol. 2 (projected).
P. 167: “That very same year Sister Palmo made a trip to the West, during which she met Trungpa Rinpoche to persuade him to invite Karmapa.” She didn’t need to persuade Chögyam Trungpa, as he was already willing to invite HH. Instead, as Lee Weingrad accounts: “The point of the meeting was Sister Palmo announcing to the Vidyadhara that the 16th Karmapa intended to visit the West, and Rinpoche would be the host.“ (Lee Weingrad, June 17, 2013, post on: https://shambhalatimes.org/2018/11/01/beyond-the-shower-curtain/)
