His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa Tickets Go On Sale

Apr 14, 2008

His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa, Orgyen Trinley Dorje, will be giving public teachings in New York, Boulder, and Seattle. Tickets for the teaching tour go on sale this week. Please read below for more details on ticket availability in each city and links to ticketing agencies.

Shambhala is the co-host for the Boulder segment of His Holiness' first visit to America. Shambhala members attending His Holiness' teachings on the East and West coasts are invited to combine their teaching gift with the mandala-wide Shambhala gift to be presented in Boulder. That way, President Reoch can present His Holiness with one large teaching gift from all of us who are in Shambhala. Click here to give your Karmapa teaching gift as part of the Shambhala mandala-wide gift.

If you are looking for, or can offer, shared transportation or housing at any of the three American cities where His Holiness Karmapa will visit, a new ride-share and accommodations website is offered by Northern California Shambhala. Please click here. No password is required.

Video footage, photographs, and newspaper articles of His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa's visits to North America can be viewed here.
