1   Link   The Karmapa International Buddhist Institute
The Karmapa International Buddhist Institute originates from the wish of His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa. He specified several projects to be completed in order to establish the Karma Kagyu lineage outside of the Himalayan region. Among these projects is an institute of higher learning and study of Buddhas timeless wisdom, including Buddhist philosophy, theory of perception and the Tibetan language. It should be accessible to Buddhists from around the world who are not familiar with Tibetan. The Indian government donated a plot of land to H.H. the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa for this purpose. After the death of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa in 1981, H.H. Shamar Rinpoche carried out the vision and founded K.I.B.I., which opened in the autumn of 1990.
Since then H.H. Shamar Rinpoche has been the chairman of the school. Until 2005 the main instructor was Khenpo Chodrak Tenphel Rinpoche. In accordance with H.H. Shamar Rinpoches wishes Khenpo Tsering as the main teacher offers a new study program since January 2007.
