Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, 16th Karmapa
(Redirected from Rangjung Rigpe Dorje)
Rangjung Rigpe Dorje (T. Rang 'byung rig pa'i rdo rje) (August 14, 1924 – November 5, 1981) was the sixteenth Karmapa of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Followers believed him to be part of the oldest line of reincarnate lamas in Vajrayana Buddhism, whose coming was predicted in the Samadhiraja Sutra.[1]
The 16th Karmapa was deeply involved in the transmission of the Vajrayana Buddhism to Europe and North America following the Chinese invasion of Tibet.[2] He had many monikers, including “King of the Yogis”, and is the subject of numerous books and films.
