On a warm autumn day in Northern California, the Buddhism Today team was privileged to meet with the twenty year old 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. We drove south from San Francisco to the estate of Sandy and Chris Yen, Karmapa's sponsors in the US, to conduct the first formal interview the 17th Karmapa has ever granted.

Buddhism Today: Gyalwa Karmapa, you are just sixteen years old, and you have already traveled both to Southeast Asia and to the West. How was that for you?
Thaye Dorje: The main purpose of these journeys is to make Buddhism available to those interested in it and to support Buddhist practitioners. I'm trying to support people to develop peace and compassion so that they can progress on their path to enlightenment.
