Noticeable from Gangtok, and a 24-km excursion southwest of the capital, the vast gompa of RUMTEK is the principle seat of the Karma Kagyu genealogy – otherwise called the Black Hat faction – established throughout the twelfth century by the first Gyalwa Karmapa, Dusun Khyenpa (1110–93). Dusun Khyenpa made the Tsurphu religious community in focal Tibet close Lhasa, which turned into the central command of the Karma Kagyu for eight centuries until the Chinese attack of Tibet in 1959.
The sixteenth Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, fled Tibet for Sikkim, where he was welcome to stay at the old Rumtek gompa. Inside a couple of years, the Karmapa had begun the work of building an alternate group at Rumtek to transform into his new seat, aground gave by the Sikkimese ruler Chogyal Tashi Namgyal. One of the unfathomable Tibetan figures of the twentieth century, the sixteenth Karmapa was extraordinarily effective in the spread of Tibetan Buddhism to the West, setting up in overabundance of two hundred Karma Kagyu centers and raising trusts for the adjusting of Tsurphu.
