HH17 Karmapa, Thaye Dorje visit - 1999

Kuching Karma Kagyu Dharma Society again saw the visit of the "king of yogis", the Gyalwa Karmapa, this time in His 17th re-incarnation, known as Trinle Thaye Dorje in November 1999. It was indeed a very great and auspicious occassion for all of us here.

When we received confirmation that His Holiness was coming, plans were immediately made to prepare for His arrival.

The working committee worked very hard, sometimes well into the wee hours of the morning, to get the preparations ready. The working committee was divided into groups to handle different tasks. We had devotees from all walks of life and from all over Sarawak and Brunei helping.
