The Karmapa is head of the Karma Kagyu school, one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Ogyen Trinley Dorje and Thaye Dorje are the persisting claimants to that office and title. Born in Lhatog Township, Qamdo County, Tibet Autonomous Region to primarily nomadic parents,Ogyen Trinley Dorje is said to have identified himself to family members as the Karmapa early in childhood. (The identification of the 17th Karmapa is disputed. See Karmapa controversy) He was seven years old before he was recognized by a search party headed by the Tai Situpa, following instructions left by the previous Karmapa in a prophetic letter and hidden in a locket entrusted to Tai Situpa. Ogyen Trinley Dorje was installed at Tsurphu Monastery (Wylie: Mtshur-phu; ZWPY: Curpu), the traditional seat of the Karmapa in Tibet, with the official sanction of the Central People's Government who declared him to be a "living Buddha", the first time a communist Chinese government has recognised a tulku. Critics of this collusion call it a "bad precedent" for the 11th Panchen Lama and the next Dalai Lama, and urged the Tai Situpa to smuggle Ogyen Trinley out of Tibet. The Tai Situpa resisted, insisting that there was a need to "legalize" the boy's position in Tibet, and so Ogyen Trinley Dorje lived at Tsurphu Monastery for another seven years. At the age of 14, he escaped to India through Nepal, arriving at the Tibetan exile quarters at McLeod Ganj on January 5, 2000. Ogyen Trinley Dorje had felt that he was unable to obtain in China the specialized instruction he needed to complete his studies and to realize his full spiritual authority. The Chinese government was embarrassed by the escape, but it did "not [excoriate] him as they [did] the Dalai Lama." Despite a lack of evidence, some believe that he is a Chinese spy. From May 15 - June 2, 2008, he made his first trip to the West, visiting several cities in the United States and was enthroned in the North American seat of the Karmapas at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra monastery in Woodstock, NY. He resides at Gyuto Monastery in Sidhbari, near Dharamsala. He visited the USA from May 15, 2008 to June 2, 2008. In July 2008 he requested permission to visit monasteries in Lahaul and Spiti (Himachal Pradesh) and in Ladakh (Jammu and Kashmir). However, the Indian government refused to allow these visits, without giving reason. It is speculated that the reason might be that these areas are close to the China border and that the Beijing Olympics are approaching, even though he has made it clear that he does not want Tibetan independence and has no political stance on China. India eventually allowed the visit of the 17th Karmapa who began his tour on in Ladakh, followed by Lahaul and Spiti, including the famous Tabo Monastery.Requests to visit USA and Europe in 2010 were denied by the Indian government.

The Dance of 17 Lives: The Incredible True Story of Tibet's 17th Karmapa by Mick Brown - This intelligent and well-written biography-cum-travelogue explores the life of the 17th Karmapa, the teenage lama who fled Chinese-occupied Tibet in 2000 for India. Brown, a freelance journalist who began the book as a magazine article after the lama's daring escape, traces the Karmapa's story but also uses the account to give Western readers a quick sketch of the nature, history and perennial conflicts of Tibetan Buddhism. Unlike other Western writers who tend to romanticize Buddhism in Asia, Brown evenhandedly paints it as a religion that is as rife with political considerations and human foibles as it is with miraculous incarnations and incomparable teachers. At times the early historical chapters can be too detailed, but Brown's balanced tone serves him well, and the writing is superbly accessible. He is particularly interested in the 11 years that elapsed between the 16th Karmapa's death in 1981 and the recognition of his seven-year-old successor in 1992; Brown shows these years to be characterized by feuding and accusations among the 16th's closest disciples. In the later chapters, he also chronicles China's mid-1990s crackdown on Buddhist practitioners in Tibet who remained loyal to the Dalai Lama, whom the Chinese government labeled a dangerous villain. Far from being a mere report on the 17th Karmapa and his exodus, this is an excellent history of modern Tibetan Buddhism on a broad scale.

Talking With Buddha Starring His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa - DVD - Talking may be part of the title of this documentary, but filmmaker Jon Braeley makes his greatest impressions via stunning color and sound. Designed to offer viewers a glimpse of Tibetan Buddhism as practiced in India, the film adopts a leisurely pace, with imagery including prayer flags segueing into a shot of masses of Buddhist monks, along with scenes of Himalayan glaciers, and a sequence in which a red-robed woman carrying a pink lotus slowly makes her way through a Buddhist temple, prostrating herself repeatedly while others go about their business. Observations on Buddhist practice from the Dalai Lama, the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, and Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo (a nun who spent 12 years in a Himalayan cave, where she slept upright in a box), among others are interspersed with extended scenes of life in several monasteries (where, for example, we see young mendicants with shaven heads bobbing and chanting). Viewers will also see crowds of worshippers men and women praying together or sitting in silence, as well as footage of ceremonies marked by the sounds of exotic percussion and wind instruments (making raucous, joyous noise) and sights of swirling colorful garments, gilded woodwork, jaunty banners, and regal headdresses. A wonderful feast for the senses, DVD extras include a talk on Dealing with Anger by Gelek Rimpoche. Highly recommended. From the Video Librarian, July 2010.
Traveling the Path of Compassion: His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa by Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje, Ringu Tulku, and Michele Martin - The 17th Karmapa is young, fresh, energetic, thoughtful, and forward thinking. With him at the helm, Tibetan Buddhism is in very capable hands. The book was well written, interesting, and useful. I highly recommend it. An Amazon reviewer
