After many years of waiting the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa has arrived in New York, America. This is an incredible event for buddhism in America and one that thousands of Kagyu students have been looking forward to for many years.
His Holiness has quite a busy schedule planned and has so far visited Ground Zero and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Today, Saturday the 17th of May, the Gyalwang Karmapa gave his first teaching in the West. He spoke about patience, compassion and stated that he had never ever forgotten about the American people.

At the Kagyu Monlam in December 2007 His Holiness the Karmapa spoke a lot about the urgent need to protect the environment and encouraged everyone to plant trees, save electricity and do whatever they can to help our planet.
His Holiness also revealed a new logo that he had designed. The logo has special significance for all Karma Kagyupas and has a very special meaning. A teaching by His Holiness on the logo can be found at the Kagyu Monlam site here.
The people at Kagyumonlam.org do a wonderful job of bringing the spirit and teachings of the Kagyu Monlam to those who cannot attend. We at Karmapa Australia Inc. thank them for all of their hard work.
