This way of life is very unusual, as it is a means to attain happiness without harming others.
THE 17th GYALWA KARMAPA
Commemorating Shamarpa's Parinirvana with Karmapa in Kalimpong
Enthusiasm ! - We could say that Karmapa closed the ceremonies of Shamar Rinpoche’s parinirvana with the transmission of long life. Hundreds of Tibetans, Indians, and Nepalese gathered to receive it. Before the transmission, Karmapa taught in Tibetan (translated into Nepalese). Then, he gave a shorter summary in English.
June 11, 2017, three years after Shamar Rinpoche's passing, we paid homage with a day of practice dedicated to the ritual of Amitabha Buddha and closed with an offering feast (tsok).
Dear friends, next Saturday, we will celebrate Karmapa's birthday, May 6. This day will be dedicated to the practices of study and meditation.

Dear friends,
All of us here at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling are happy to share Karmapa's latest announcement, posted on his website.
Following in the footsteps of great enlightened beings such as Padmasambhava, the 15th Karmapa and the late Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, may the wisdom union of His Holiness and Rinchen Yangzom benefit the Kagyu Lineage and countless beings.

Right now in New Delhi, the spring course of Thaye Dorje, the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, is taking place at the Karmapa International Buddhist Institute (KIBI).
May the wisdom arising from meditation and study of the teachings guide our activity for others! [...]
Last December 29, close to 300 people gathered in the Institute for Lama Jigme Rinpoche's winter course. It's three o'clock. There is neither Rinpoche's throne in place for the teaching, nor a scholar from Kalimpong arrived to teach philosophy, nor even one of Dhagpo's lamas. Under the benevolent regard of the Buddha, and before the slightly surprised one of the public, sit Julien and Olivier. Both are volunteers and residents at Dhagpo, and they are preparing to begin the explanations of the first chapter of The Gateway to Knowledge by Mipham Rinpoche.
Guided by knowledge, the fruit of Dharma study, let us attentively observe what arises in us!. [...]
Today, I’d like to go back to a ceremony which was the object of inquiry of many of you. I’d like to talk about the ceremony during which the Gyalwa Karmapa bestowed a red hat on Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche.
