During the three days before the arrival of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje, the Lamas and Druplas of Dhagpo Kundreul Ling, along with practitioners coming from the neighbourhood, performed the Sangtik Dordje Sempa practice as a preparation for this exceptional visit.

To prepare for the presence of the Gyalwa Karmapa, the Dhagpo Lamas performed the Gyalwa Gyamtso practice (Red Tchenrezi) during five days. His Holiness took part in the ritual on the last day of the accumulation.
