This book is a complete description of the life of Rangjung Dorje the Third Karmapa. The book is 300 pages long and covers his entire life.
"When Rangjung Dorjé was five, Orgyenpa recognized him as the reincarnation of Karma Pakshi (1204–1283). Karma Pakshi, known as “the Karmapa,” had, in turn, claimed to be the manifestation of another yogi, Düsum Khyenpa (1110–1193). Düsum Khyenpa was a foundational figure in the Kagyü, or “oral lineage” of Tibetan Buddhism. He was known for wearing a ceremonial black hat, a symbol that Karma Pakshi appropriated. At the end of his long life, Karma Pakshi gave his black hat to Orgyenpa, who “returned” it to Rangjung Dorjé."
