Yes, this has been an ongoing issue. There are controversies (without involving the Chinese) in the succession of other lamas as well. The identity of the Karamapa, for example, has been in dispute with some though that seems to be getting decided by the populace at this point.

Hi All, I am a avid fan of Vajrayana. Mainly through reading. My favorite book is ”Know the Mind and its’ Nakedness” Padma Sambahva. Also the several books by books by Trungpa…. ”If the mind is uncreated, what is there to meditate on!”

http://www.berzinarchives.com/web/en/index.html/ is one of my favorites with lots of teachings and historical info too.
http://www.tibetanlineages.org/ is a new (to me) site with biographies of the masters of all the Vajrayana lineages and Bon masters as well.
http://www.himalayanart.org/ is an incredible repository of artworks of all kinds from Tibet and surrounding countries, great for Yidam pictures. Try browsing through the sculpture or textiles to see some images you might not normally find.
http://www.lotsawahouse.org/ has many translations of traditional texts. this page of the most commonly cited quotations in Tibetan Dharma texts is just amazing http://www.lotsawaschool.org/quotations.html/
http://www.simplybeing.co.uk/simply/Transcripts_Dzogchen.html/ has a number of teachings from James Low who is one of the best western born Dzogchen teachers imho.
http://blazing-splendor.blogspot.com/ mentioned this one in a post here on another forum about my favorite Dharma blogs, but I will cite it again because it’s my favorite Vajrayana blog.
Thanks for posting these!
Hey, great sites!
