Life of HH12 Karmapa - Changchub Dorje The 12th Karmapa, Changchub Dorje (1703-1732), was born at Chile Chakhor in Derge province in east Tibet. Shamarpa heard talk of the doings of a remarkable child, and sent a party to investigate. His envoys brought the child to Karma Gon, one of Karmapa's principal monasteries, where he met Shamarpa Paichen Chokyi Dondrub. Changchub Dorje gave profound Kagyu teachings to the famous Nyingma master of Katok monastery, who in turn shared his Nyingma teachings. The 12th Karmapa, and Sharmapa Paichen Chokyi Dondrub were to spend the rest of their lives together, travelling and teaching in Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, India and China. Changchup Dorje left troubled Tibet in order to make pilgrimage to India and Nepal, visiting the holy sites of Buddha's birth and death. He accepted an invitation and set out for China, but died before reaching there. Indeed only one day separated his and Sharmapa's deaths. Both gave Kagyu transmission to the eighth Situpa, and named him lineage holder.
