  That's true. The CD dharma talk on this was distributed during the dinner to celebrate the birthday of the 17th karmapa about 3 years ago.

  Unfortunately due to some political reasons, it is impossible for the 17th Karmapa to travel. How I wish that he can come to Singapore. I have his portrait at my altar and I recite his name 3 times every morning.

  Me too. I wish he can come to Singapore. He can only send his Senior Disciple to come here.

   

  While the other 17th karmapa (recognized by the China government) have no problem visiting Singapore.

  I don't think so because newspaper will publish and Changi airport will be flooded with his local and overseas followers and "fans". I've called but dare not to ask whether 17th Karmapa is coming. Chanting will be  from 8.30 am to 9 pm. No registration is required. Singapore will be very轰动if he comes, more 轰动 than General Election.

  lols....You are right , if you get near the 17th karmapa , his energy field can cleanse a lot of your negativity (bad karma). 

  Some more Singapore on good terms with China now, do you think they will allow him to come here? lols...

  right, i was about to change to a question mark, after some thought, but was too busy to change. seriously, i don't follow him or very into tibetan buddhism. mostly my younger brother and his wife do. so they will tell me about it. i more into MCK and PL. for MCK, he would rather keep a very low profile when going abroad, especially china. ppl there are very passionate.
