The 16th Gyalwa Karmapa with Trungpa Rinpoche and the Vajra Regent
Osel Tendzin in 1974. The room in which this photo was taken was converted
rather quickly, and at great loss of sleep, into what several people have
described as a jewel box. The walls were entirely covered in a yellow-gold
satin, and the room proper transformed in to a tradtional interview room
suitable for the head of the Kagyu lineage. This photograph is from the
holdings of the Shambhala Archives. The photographer is unknown, and duplication
is by written permission only.
