Karmapa Meets Dalai Lama After Seven Years, Sparking Hope for Return to India

The 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, met with the Dalai Lama in Zurich, Switzerland, marking their first meeting in seven years. Photos of the August 25 meeting were shared on the social media. The meeting has fueled hopes among Karmapa's followers, especially in India, that he may return soon. The Karmapa, who left India in 2017 for medical reasons and later took Dominican citizenship, last met His Holiness the Dalai Lama during the 2017 Kalachakra teachings in Bodhgaya.
