The 17th Gyalwa Karmapa visit in Taiwan 2016
For the fifth time, Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Karmapa will visit Taiwan later this month.
On 30 April he will participate in a prayer event for world peace and harmony to which he has been invited as the guest of honour. Karmapa will preside over the recitation of aspiration prayers, including the King of Aspiration Prayers, which is also one of the main prayers recited during the Kagyu Monlam in Bodhgaya.
His Holiness shares a message on His official website:
In a conditioned world, birth, living and death are part of life. Each of these experiences requires great courage, and as Buddhists we offer aspirations of compassion and wisdom, so that all beings may gain the courage to make the best use of these experiences.
