Despite the extraordinary life and activity of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa there is as yet no comprehensive published biography in existence.  Since 2010 I have been collecting material about his life, and this and any future material will eventually become such a work. 
All this should be a very befitting biography, which it is hoped will give readers a glimpse of who the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa was and reflect as far as possible his immense qualities.
