His Holiness was recognized at 8 years old, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to be the reincarnation of the Karmapa, traditionally regarded as the emanation of Avalokiteshvara, and head of the Karma Kagyu tradition

This was His Holiness’ 3rd trip to the United States. Apart from the short stay in New York, His Holiness also visited top universities such as Stanford, Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Besides giving seminars and lectures to students, and academics, His Holiness also received the Chubb Fellowship from Yale University and was granted an honorary doctorate from the University of Redlands.

On his first visit in 2008, then Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, declared the day the Karmapa arrived in New York City to be Karmapa Day. In 2011, His Holiness visited Washington DC to attend the Kalachakra for World Peace empowerment and teachings presided by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
