Thus, in 1992, China helped select the seven-year-old Ogyen Trinley Dorje as the 17th Karmapa Lama, installing him at Tibet’s Tsurphu monastery – the Karmapas’ ancestral abode, which was almost destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. He became the first reincarnated “living Buddha” to be recognized and ratified by Communist China.
于是在1992年，7岁的邬金钦列多杰在中国的帮助下成为17世噶玛巴，于楚布寺（历代噶玛巴的住所，在文化大革命中几乎全毁）升殿。他也成为首个得到中共批准认定的转世“活佛”。
