On Friday, 26th of February, K.I.B.I. welcomed a group of about 50 pilgrims from Ladakh. Guided by Karma Ishey Jungne (Thabkha) from Karma Dupgyud Choeling Monastery, Ladakh, they had visited major sacred Buddhist places all over India and Nepal for the previous two mont hs. As their last event before returning to their homes in Ladakh, they came to K.I.B.I. where they had the chance to meet His Holiness and receive his blessing. They requested him to dedicate the merit gathered during their pilgrimage. H.H. Karmapa made aspirations for their continuous gathering merit and wisdom, and bestowed the reading transmission (lung) of the Chenrezig Sadhana.
For the residents and guests at K.I.B.I. witnessing this meeting, the pure devotion of the pilgrims to His Holiness became a great source of inspiration and a wonderful opportunity to rejoice.
