Today, May 6 2012, is the 29th Birthday of H.H. 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje, as well as being a “super moon” in some parts of the world. We wish him a long life and much success in his activity worldwide in teaching the Dharma for the benefit of all beings, and look forward very much to his forthcoming visit to the UK in July.
