Karmapa

Karmapa (počasni naslov Njegova svetost Gyalwa Karmapa, ponekad navođen i kao Gyalwang Karmapa) je poglavar Karma Kagyu, najveće podškole Kagyupa (tibetanski Bka' brgyud), jedne od četiri glavne škole tibetanskog budizma.

Historijsko sjedište Karmapa je manastir Tsurphu u dolini Tolung u Tibetu. Sjedište Njegove svetosti u izgnanstvu je Dharma Chakra Centre u manastiru Rumtek u indijskom Sikkimu. Njegovi regionalna monastička sjedišta su Karma Triyana Dharmachakra u New Yorku, Dhagpo Kagyu Ling u Francuskoj i Tashi Choling u Butanu.

Unutar škole Karma Kagyu je došlo do spora oko priznanja novog Karmape, pa identitet 17. Karmape nije univerzalno prihvaćen.
