“The Kagyu Monlam has been held in countries around the world, allowing practitioners to come together as a sangha and join voices and intention in unified aspiration. His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa Orgyen Trinley Dorje has now given his blessing for the first Kagyu Monlam in North America.  Together we will pray for the balance of the four elements during these difficult times, for world peace, and for the happiness of all beings. Our aspirations become the ground of our future experience.  This is a rare and precious opportunity to magnify the power of our pure intentions.”
