December 14, 2011 – Gyuto, Dharamsala
Nearly a thousand people from across the Himalayan region, including many Tibetans newly-arrived from Tibet, sought darshan and blessings from His Holiness the Karmapa yesterday afternoon. His Holiness gave an oral transmission of the Compassion Buddha practice to the large gathering, followed by an individual blessings to every person present.
The blessings were conferred at Gyuto Monastery as part of the Gyalwang Karmapa’s normally scheduled public audiences, held every Wednesday and Saturday when His Holiness is in residence in Dharamsala.
