Karmapa is the embodiment of all buddha actions or the one who engages in buddha activity. Wangchuk Dorje, the 9th Karmapa (1556–1603), was a well-known Karma Kagyu lineage leader in Tibetan Buddhism who was renowned for his in-depth teachings and wide-ranging trips across Tibet. He wrote important books on Mahamudra meditation, including "Ocean of Definitive Meaning," which are still vital to the Kagyu lineage. He was known for his spiritual insight and compassion, and he was instrumental in keeping the Karma Kagyu lineage alive throughout challenging times. His influential writings and teachings continue to inspire and lead today's practitioners.
