The Karmapa is the head of the Karma Kagyu, one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, and is considered the first lama to be consciously reincarnated in Tibetan history. Revered as the embodiment of Chenrezig (Avalokiteśvara), the Bodhisattva of Compassion, the Karmapa is seen as a living expression of enlightened activity and wisdom. Each incarnation of the Karmapa serves as a spiritual guide and protector of the Dharma, upholding the teachings of Mahāmudrā (the Great Seal) and ensuring the unbroken transmission of meditative realization across generations.
