The History of the Sixteen Karmapas of Tibet

von Karma Thinley

The Karmapa is the spiritual leader of the Karma Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The present Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, is the sixteenth of the line which began with Dusum Khyenpa, the first Karmapa, in the twelfth century.

Karma Thinley presents the biographies of all the Karmapas, based on his translations from numerous Tibetan sources. Accompanying the text are sixteen line drawings, based on the thangka paintings of the Karmapas at Rumtek monastery, the seat of the present Karmapa.
