Actually, it is neither.

Actually, it is neither.

This story should be in one of the Kalapa assemblies transcripts.

The Vidyadara himself told the story. It was commentary on the Golden text.

It goes something like this. The Vidyadara saw that the Karmapa had a gold rolex with a gold face and the Vidyadara kidded the Karmapa that only Mexicans would go for something like that.

The Karmapa replied well I am going to get some gold shoes too. What do you think about that?

Then the Vidyadara commented that the Karmapa had actually jumped in the gold lake
(I assume he meant this metaphorically).

Now this is all from memory - I am too lazy to look it up - but I am pretty sure its in one of the transcripts.
