    Description:  Bokar Rinpoche was born in Western Tibet in 1940 and is considered by his peers as one of the greatest meditation masters of our times. The brief text he has written for his disciples is presented here as Opening the Door to Certainty. Short and compact, Opening the Door to Certainty is a condensed version of the Ninth Karmapa's work, titled The Ocean of Certainty.
    The Karmapas are as well known in Tibet as the Dalai Lamas. They have headed the Tibetan Buddhist Karma Kagyu lineage of reincarnate masters since the 12th century and are the direct successors of Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa, and Milarepa.

    The Ninth Karmapa, Wangchuk Dorje (1556-1603) wrote several works on meditation. His most comprehensive and renowned text is The Ocean of Certainty (Ngedon Gyamtso). This voluminous book, not yet translated into any Western language, is a major classic of the Kagyupa School. It is generally used by the lamas to teach meditation.
