Description
Rangjung Rigpe Dorje (1924-1981) was the Sixteenth Gyalwa Karmpapa of Tibetan Buddhism, the leader of the Karma Kagyu lineage. He was one of the great spiritual figures of the twentieth century. The life story of the Sixteenth Karmapa is told by those close to him in Tibet, the generation of teachers that he trained and many others that he touched. The story of this modern day buddha looks closely at enlightened qualities and frames them amid historical events and the cultural context of Buddhism's migration to the West. The Extras DVD contains the Black Crown ceremony shot by an Oscar-nominated director, a half hour talk show featuring Karmapa XVI, a history of the previous 15 Karmapas and more.
