Scene and HeardKarmapa to Visit Europe
His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is expected to visit Europe for the first time this summer. The tentative schedule for his five-week tour runs from the end of May to the beginning of July with stops in nine countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Poland, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Spain and The Netherlands.
Message from His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa to Europe:
In many countries in Europe there are numerous students connected with the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism and also many people who have a direct connection with the Karmapa. Many of them have been wishing and expecting me to come to Europe for twenty or thirty years. This has become a very important purpose in my life. Since my childhood I have kept it very strongly in my heart. This year there is a strong hope that I may be able to visit Europe and this is good news for me and those who have invited me. I hope and wish that this year all our expectations and aspirations to meet together in Europe will be fulfilled.
