Karmapa is the embodiment of all buddha actions or the one who engages in buddha activity. Great enlightened Buddhist masters are supposed to be able to consciously control their reincarnation in the Tibetan tradition in order to continue their work for the benefit of all sentient beings. The appearance of a Buddhist master, who would be known as the Karmapa, had been foretold by the historical Buddha Shakyamuni and the renowned tantric master of India, Guru Padmasambhava, prior to the birth of the first Karmapa.
