Q: What is the mission of the Karmapa in this lifetime?
A: The mission of the Karmapa in this 21st century is mainly Dharma activity. However, the Dharma must change in order to suit the time and needs of society and its people. Its essence will still be buddhadharma, but I may give it a new external shape. I will update its expression so it can most effectively benefit the people of the 21st century. That is my mission.
