After flying from India, His Holiness was greeted at the airport early this morning by a group of dignitaries and spiritual leaders, and escorted by motorcade to a private welcoming ceremony in Manhattan. A group of approximately 150 attendees welcomed His Holiness with a traditional Tibetan tea & rice ceremony.
During the ceremony, His Holiness remarked on how happy he is that his long-planned inaugural visit to America has finally come to fruition, and he expressed the aspiration that he might meet again and again with students here.
