History
Karma Kagyud Buddhist Centre was first initiated in 1979,[1] and after a visit by the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa on 27 December 1980, the centre was officially founded on 17 April 1981 following a visit by Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche in Singapore.[2] The centre subscribes with the Kagyud lineage of Tibetan Buddhism[3] and advocates Trinley Thaye Dorje as the 17th Karmapa[4] in the ongoing Karmapa Controversy.[5]
