Vajra Crown Jewels of the Karma Kagyu, The Black and Red Crowns of the Gyalwang Karmapa and the Karma Kagyu, published by Dakini Translations and Publications in 2023, is a specialist Tibetan Buddhist translation project's article on the ceremonial vajra crowns bestowed within the Karma Kagyu lineage. Dakini Translations is an informed practitioner and translator site rather than a peer-reviewed academic publication, run by people with direct working knowledge of Karma Kagyu textual and ritual sources. It is a well-informed specialist account of an internal lineage practice; an independent academic study of Karma Kagyu ritual objects would need separate scholarly sourcing.
