The Karma Kagyu tradition

Karma Kagyu is one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Being a school of oral transmission, it focuses on meditation and direct experience of the nature of mind, which is accomplished thanks to the tuition of a qualified master.

Karma Kagyu finds its roots in the teachings given by the historical Buddha Shakyamuni. It developed in India and later Tibet, and became a practical way to Enlightenment. Over about 1500 years the great Buddhist accomplishers (mahasiddhas) such as Tilopa, Naropa and Maitripa in India and later their heroic yogi successors in Tibet, Marpa and Milarepa, have formed a tradition that proved effective for lay people. Starting with the XII^th century the unbroken incarnation lineage of the Karmapas ensures the existence and power of the school.

Modern Buddhist masters, such as His Holiness the XVII^th Karmapa Thaye Dorje, Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche, Jigme Rinpoche, Nedo Rinpoche, and Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche continue to bring oriental wisdom to interested people around the world and support the activity of Western Buddhist centres everywhere.
