This morning HH Karmapa is sitting on his throne with the three rinpoches facing him as the monks chant long life prayers. Each rinpoche walks forward to receive his blessings. A scroll with a long life prayer is unfurled and read aloud before being offered to each master together with a presentation of a gold Buddha statue. The ceremony is charged with faith and devotion as the entire assembly chant the prayers.
