The second Gyalwa Karmapa was Karma Pakshi. He was a gifted child who, by age 10, had already acquired knowledge of Dharma philosophy and meditation. Drogon Rechen, the spiritual heir of the first Karmapa, had given the whole Kagyu transmission to his teacher, Pomdrakpa. Pomdrakpa understood that the kid in his care was the reincarnation of Dusum Khyenpa, as stated in the letter sent to Drogon Rechen, through a series of clear visions.
