Statue of the 6th Shamarpa carved by the 10th Karmapa
Here is an extract from the late 14th Shamarpa’s book “A Golden Swan in Turbulent Waters”, about the life of the 10th Karmapa, Choying Dorje. It illustrates their close relationship as student and teacher.

Shamarpa: “Can the lotuses in a lake stay ever together without separating?”
10th Karmapa by Pema Rinzin
