His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa in America (May 15th – June 2nd, 2008)

Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the twenty-two-year-old Tibetan man identified by many (including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama) as His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, will make his very first visit to the United States from May 15th to June 2nd. The website created for this historic event notes:

    Many have been anticipating the visit of His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa to America for nearly two decades. During the 1970s and 80s, the tours of His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa were historic occasions for the Western Buddhist community. We anticipate that the first visit of His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa will also also prove to be a momentous event.

His visit will include events in the following cities:

  • New York City, NY
  • Woodstock, NY
  • Boulder, CO
  • Seattle, WAFor more information about His Holiness’ U.S. visit schedule, just follow this link. (Thanks to Dan H. for passing the website info along to us.)
