This new DVD traces the steps of HH 17th Gyalwang Karmapa as he traveled to New York, Wappingers Falls, Woodstock, Shamong, Boulder, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle. His Holiness taught to thousands in public venues and smaller gatherings, and met students new and old, western and Tibetan. He blessed children and met with local luminaries. He was welcomed by western and Tibetan teachers and received honors from mayors. He visited monasteries and retreat centers, and said prayers at the tragic 9/11 site in Manhattan. And he visited cultural centers and landmarks such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Space Needle in Seattle. Last night I was in India, and this morning I found myself in America! Unless I look at you, I found this hard to believe I pray and hope that all of you are filled with peace, happiness and great joy. And it is my aspiration that we all meet again and again. - HH 17th Gyalwang Karmapa at the Welcome Ceremony in New York, NY.
