Life of HH15 Karmapa - Khakhyab Dorje The 15th Karmapa, Khakhyab Dorje (1871-1922), spoke the mantra of Chenrezig at his birth in Sheikor village in Tsang province in central Tibet. Five years later he was able to read the scriptures. Recognised and enthroned by the ninth Kyabgon Drukchen, Khakyab Dorje was given the Kagyu teachings by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye. Khenchen Tashi Ozer and other masters completed his education. Khakhyab Dorje was a disciple of Jamgon Kongtrul the Great, himself a disciple of the fourteenth Karmapa and a holder of the Kagyud lineage. Khakhyab Dorje mastered the teachings at an extremely early age and became an outstanding exponent of the Rime school, founded by his guru, which brought together the meditation teachings of all the Tibetan schools. He was an accomplished student of medicine and the author of memorable devotional poetry. He went on to teach and give empowerments throughout Tibet, and preserved many rare texts by having them reprinted. Unlike the previous Karmapas, Khakyab Dorje married, and fathered three sons, two of whom he recognised as the second Jamgon Kongtrul and the twelfth Shamarpa, Jamyang Rinpoche. An inspired teacher, Khakhyab Dorje had many important disciples, and His life was a brilliant example of the bodhisattva with an insatiable desire for learning in order to help other beings. Among his closest students were Situ Pema Wangchok Gyalpo (who Karmapa had recognised as the Situpa reincarnation), Jamgon Palden Khyentse Ozer, and Beru Khyentse Lodro Mizay Jampa'i Gocha.
