The highlight of His Holiness Karmapa’s visit to Taipei, the two-day empowerment of Gyalwa Gyatso (Red Chenresig), took place on May 5 and 6, at National Taiwan University Sports Center.

On May 4 His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa visited two dharma centres in Taipei City: Karma Phuntsok Ling, a small but flourishing centre, and Karma Kagyu Dharma Chakra Centre in the Shih Lin District of Taipei. The latter centre is under the spiritual guidance of Venerable Sang Sang Rinpoche, and is characterised by a particularly friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
