For the Radiant Compassion Project, 2025 was marked by the 50th anniversary of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa's first trip to the West. Various posts on this topic can be found here. We also published the second volume of the book in French, which was kindly reviewed on French television (see here).
For 2026, we have several priorities:
- Translating the first volume into Italian and the second volume into Spanish, Russian, Polish, and Czech.
- Completely revising the previous editions. Some of the new passages will also be published online, see here.
We hope it inspires you as much as it inspires us!

War and peace
Asked concerning the conflicts with Islamist countries
He said he could not comment on the political intricacies of this country's clashes with the spiritual nation of Islam in Iran "which do not intrigue me," but concluded the countries' difficulties arose because of spiritual problems.
"Common sense tells me as long as a religion is purely practiced, I do not see it causing conflict."
At another occasion he commented:
"What is important is to have some sort of religion, to follow some sort of path," the Karmapa said, "and to keep that religion spiritually pure.
"As long as a religion is kept pure and is not used politically, this can cause and contribute to peace and harmony in general."
