Schedule of His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa

Typical Dharamsala schedule: When in residence at his temporary camp at the Gyuto Tantric University in the Dharamsala area, His Holiness's schedule is typically very tight since he is devoting almost all of his time to studies, which include the process of transmission and empowerment from his teachers, as well as Buddhist philosophy and meditation practice.

However, His Holiness has earmarked a portion of his time for public audiences and has a limited amount of time for private audiences. When his travel and study schedule permits, His Holiness holds public audiences in Sidbhari at Gyuto Tantric College, for which prior appointments are not necessary. The public audiences usually include a brief teaching granted during the audience time. The typical schedule for his public audiences are between 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm Wednesday and Saturday. His Holiness currently holds regular public audiences on Saturdays and Wednesdays.

The audiences take place at the temporary Kagyu camp at the Gyuto Tantric University near Dharamsala. For an audience contact:
