His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa’s third official visit to Hong Kong ended with a sumptuous all-vegetarian gala dinner held on the evening of January 27.
This final event took place in the Grand Hall of Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, a venue that lives up to its name. His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa presided over the head table set in the centre of the generous space and surrounded by dozens of smaller tables, all beautifully laid with porcelain and linen napkins.
The front area of the vast hall featured a large stage, with a big screen on either side, allowing even those seated further in the back to follow whatever was happening on the stage.
