"
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
