The Future is Now  (English, Paperback, Dorje Ogyen Trinley His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa)

The 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is the spiritual head of the Karma Kagju school of Tibetan Buddhism. The Karmapas are Tibet's greatest wisdom teachers. In 1999, the young Karmapa fled to Tibet to join the Dalai Lama in exile in India. There his masters have been passing on the ancient Kagyu lineage to reawaken his wisdom and transform him from disciple to teacher. An accomplished poet and painter, the Karmapa is emerging as one of the great spiritual teachers of the modern age, with a wisdom and facility to distill the traditional complexities of Buddhist philosophy into contemporary values and truths to enrich and inspire people of all ages and beliefs. A beautiful, fully illustrated gift book that makes Buddhist ideas powerfully relevant in our time.
