His Holiness The Seventeenth
Gyalwa Karmapa
Supreme Head of The Kagyu Lineage
Karmapa means "the one who carries out buddha-activity" or "the
embodiment of all the activities of the buddhas." In the Tibetan
tradition, great enlightened teachers are said to be able to
consciously arrange to be reborn as a teacher who can carry on the
teachings of a predecessor in a prior life.

Khenpo Tsultrim Gyampso
Rinpoche
Great Modern Day Yogi and Impeccable Scholar of Buddhism
While Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso unites prodigious scholarship and
intellect with great compassion, he also embodies the training and
temperament of a true yogi. In fact, Rinpoche is often compared to
the great yogi Milarepa, whom he resembles in both substance and
style: Rinpoche has no fixed abode, few possessions; he has
practiced for years in solitude, sometimes sealed in darkness.
