This summer, hundreds of monks and lay people will gather at Karma
Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) on Overlook Mountain above the artist
village of Woodstock, N.Y., to participate in the North American
Kagyu Monlam, a five day festival of prayers for world peace. This
historic event, an extension of the annual Kagyu Monlam Chenmo in
Bodhgaya, India, will be the first of an annual tradition to be
held at sacred places across the U.S. and Canada.
“Kagyu Monlam is an avenue whereby we can spread, at times of great
need, the genuine spirit of love and compassion to all the people
of the world, like a great ripple, first in Bodhgaya, then in
Bihar, and so on. As we continuously offer these prayers for world
peace, it is our intention and our wish that peace and happiness
extend to all.” — His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa
Your prayers and aspirations will help spread the spirit of
compassion and love, supporting the mission of His Holiness and
other great masters. Highlights of the event include daily
teachings by the Very Ven. Thrangu Rinpoche and an Akshobhya
Empowerment. The complete daily schedule of events, personally
composed by His Holiness the Karmapa, can be viewed at

The many recreational opportunities of the Catskill Mountains make
this an ideal location to bring the family. Whether you come for
one day or for the entire program, your participation will support
His Holiness’s efforts to promote world peace and harmony.
With the Monlam little over a month away, we encourage you to

July. If you have not yet registered, please register through the
