On the last evening of His stay in Kuching His Holiness visited Kuching Bodhi Path Society to meet with organisers and devotees, give teachings, answer questions and conduct a Chenresig Practice.

On May 19th His Holiness granted the empowerment of Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, the “Lotus-Born”, to a gathering of approximately 1,500 devotees. The preparation for the empowerment started in the morning, with His Holiness and the gathered Rinpoches, lamas and monks performing the puja of Guru Rinpoche.
