Nine hundred years ago, the first Karmapa, Dusum Khyenpa, inspired his disciples through his teachings and through the example of his life. First Karmapa: The Life and Teachings of Dusum Khyenpa is the first English translation of these teachings and biographies. It allows contemporary readers to experience this great master's forthright manner, feel his commitment to practice, and receive the teachings he gave in both word and deed.

KTD Publications is an arm of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, the North American seat of the Gyalwa Karmapa. In addition to bringing new works to light KTD Publications facilitates the projects and activities that come from His Holiness' inspiration and blessings.
