    ย The Fifth Gyalwa Karmapa โ€“ Deshin Shegpa

    The Fifth Gyalwa Karmapa, Deshin Shegpa, was born in Nyangdam in the Kongpo region of South Tibet to tantric practitioners. His fatherโ€™s name was Guru Rinchen, and his motherโ€™s name was Lhamo Kyi. While awaiting the birth of their child, it is said that they heard mantras and the Sanskrit alphabet being recited in Lhamo Kyiโ€™s womb. Their baby sat upright when it was born, wiped his face, recited the sacred mantra of โ€˜Phagpa Chenrezig, and proclaimed, โ€œI am the Karmapa.โ€ The parents brought their child to Tsawaphu in Kongpo, and the Lineage-holder, Khachรถ Wangpo, recognized the boy as the reincarnation of Rรถlpe Dorje, the Fourth Gyalwa Karmapa. When he was 11 or 12 years old, he was brought to Tsurphu Monastery and ordained at Chogde Dรผngang as the Fifth Gyalwa Karmapa. He received all the belongings he had in his last life as the Fourth Karmapa. He also received the full cycle of the Kagyรผ empowerments and teachings. Deshin Shegpa completed his traditional training with ease.
