KARMAPA FOUNDATION EUROPE

The Karmapa Foundation Europe (KFE) was established in 2010 to support the activities of His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, in Europe... Both the historical Buddha Shakyamuni, and Guru Rinpoche who brought Buddhism to Tibet from India, prophesied the arrival of a master who would be known as the Karmapa. Throughout the centuries, the Karmapas have carried out activities of enlightenment. The Karmapas have worked to alleviate and remove suffering and promote the happiness and contentment for all living beings. The Karmapa's purpose is to manifest unconditional compassion in a direct, accessible way. For centuries, the Karmapas have been sought out as spiritual supports, protectors, and supreme mentors by lay and monastic Tibetans from every region. Traditionally, it is said that the Karmapa attained enlightenment many eons ago as the Buddha named Shenphen Namrol.
