The 17th Gyalwa Karmapa visited Europe from June to August 2009.
A great gathering of practitioners from all over Europe had come together in the institute to welcome the spiritual head of the Karma Kagyu lineage by offering Khatags, traditional Tibetan ceremonial scarves.
Monday evening, September the 15th, 2008, the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje gave a talk on “the spirit of Generosity and Peace” in the famous Theatre des Bouffes Parisiens. The many disciples and Parisians who had crowded in the typical 19th century French theatre, received an inspiring teaching on this subject by the head of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
