Definition in this text:

As the seventh Karmapa, Chödrak Gyatso (1454–1506) was the head of the Karma Kagyü school. He was an accomplished practitioner and a prolific scholar who spent much of his life in retreat. He was nevertheless very socially engaged and worked to put an end to military conflicts, finance bridge construction, instruct people to give up hunting and fishing, and restore Buddhist iconography, specifically the central Buddha statues at Bodhgaya and Tshurpu.
