The Karmapa Hits The Big Time!

The 17th Karmapa has come to America for the first time and is making big news. How amazing is that? Who woulda thunk it. I have been practicing Tibetan Buddhism since the early 90's and I am so happy that such prominent teachers within my tradition are making such an impact on the western world. Maybe our karma is changing and the seeds that have been planted are finally flourishing.

Here are two stories that have made the news since the Karmapa's arrival:

NY Times: Young Spiritual Leader Arrives in New York Ready to Teach and Be Taught

Time magazine: The World's Next Top Lama

Boy that Time magazine article title is a bit too trash-tv for my taste.
