The Karmapa is a long line of consciously reborn lamas, and the second Karmapa, Karma Pakshi (1204–1283), is the first recognized tulku (Wylie: sprul sku) in Tibetan Buddhism who predicted the circumstances of his rebirth.

The 15th Karmapa's close attendant, Jampal Tsultrim, possessed the letter of prediction, which matched exactly with the process the 11th Tai Situpa was already undertaking to find the 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje.

Tibetan names typically consist of two juxtaposed elements. Family names are rare except among those of aristocratic ancestry and then come before the personal name (but diaspora Tibetans living in societies that expect a surname may adopt one). For example, in Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme, Ngapoi was his family name and Nga-Wang Jigmê his personal name.
