On Friday March 17, 2017, the annual Karmapa Public Course concluded with an empowerment and garden dinner. There were nearly 500 registered participants from 46 nations who benefited from the vast knowledge of our teachers. His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa bestowed two empowerments, Chenrezig and Amitayus, and taught for the fourth consecutive year from Shantideva’s Bodhicharyavatara; and many participants expressed that they already are looking forward to the fifth chapter next year.
KIBI would like to thank each and every participant for making it an absolutely wonderful and smooth experience and wish everyone safe travels back home and welcome you all back next year.
