The Karmapa is the spiritual leader of the Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The present Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is the 17th reincarnation in an unbroken succession dating back over 800 years. He was born in 1985 in eastern Tibet to a family of nomads. Karmapa literally means "embodiment of the activity of all buddhas." The Karmapa's purpose is to preserve and transmit the spiritual legacy of the Buddhist teachings, and to manifest wakefulness and unconditional compassion in a direct, accessible way.
