However, the figure is always covered due to its powerful effect.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>His Holiness, the 16th Karmapa, head of the Kagyu order of Tibetan Buddhism, lived here from 1959 to 1981. After fleeing to Sikkim during the Chinese invasion of Tibet, he received asylum, land and support from the King of Sikkim to build a new monastery in Rumtek and his home monastery in Tsurphu in Tibet served as a model. During the 16th Karmapa's lifetime, the monastery was an important pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists. The 16th Karmapa is one of the most important reincarnations in the Tibetan Buddhist world and the head of the Karma Kagyu school. The Karma Kagyu school is one of the four main branches of Tibetan Buddhism.
