High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dusum Khyenpa (Wylie: dus gsum mkhyen pa ) (1110-1193) was the 1st Gyalwa Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu (ka rma bka' brgyud) school of Tibetan Buddhism. Dusum Khyenpa literally means Knower of the Three times (or past, present and future). It was given to him to refer to knowledge of the three forms of time he gained at enlightenment including the timeless time of enlightened awareness. He was born to a devout family of Buddhist practitioners in Tesho in eastern Tibet and was called Gephel as a child. He first studied with his father and then continued training with other Buddhist teachers in the region. He was a gifted child who studied and practiced Dharma intently from an early age. Already quite learned by the age of twenty, he became a monk and studied the sutras and tantra intensively for a further ten years. At thirty, he went to Daklha Gampo -- Gampopa's monastery -- to receive teachings from him.
