Public Meditation Course 2025: photos

December 11, 2025

This year’s Public Meditation Course at the Karmapa International Buddhist Institute (KIBI) was held between the 1st and the 10th of December 2025.

Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, gave Dharma talks about the meaning of the practices of Sojong (confession and purification) and Chenrezig, the wisdom aspect embodying the enlightened compassion of all Buddhas. He also took ample time to answer the students’ questions, and guided sessions of the practice of Chenrezig.

In addition to Karmapa, Drupon Nyigyam Rinpoche, Khenpo Tsering Samdrub, and Khenpo Chochok also shared their knowledge and experience of the Dharma with the eager students.

The Public Meditation Course concluded on the 10th of December with aspiration prayers for the benefit of all beings.
