Item Description
Travel with the Karmapa and experience the US through his eyes as he conducts his historic first teaching visit in 2008.
"It was all of you who made my coming to America possible. Due to your efforts, I have been able to come here and express my hopes for the future of the world. So this visit to America symbolizes not only the potential to bring about changes for me; it symbolizes that all of you also have the power to change the world."
- His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje

He taught to thousands in public venues and smaller gatherings; met students new and old, western and Tibetan; blessed children; met with local luminaries, was welcomed by western and Tibetan teachers and received honors from mayors. He visited monasteries and retreat centers; and said prayers at the tragic 9/11 site in Manhattan. And he visited tourist spots, from the Metropolitan Museum in New York to the Space Needle in Seattle. He even spent time in Universal Studios and Disneyland!
