The main event of His Holiness' visit was the performance of the very auspicious Black Crown Ceremony. About five thousand people attended the ceremony held in Puat Jit Temple. The presence of His Holiness at our Centre had greatly inspired and motivated the committee and devotees to work hard for the propagation of the Buddha Dharma as preserved through the Kagyud lineage.

Before leaving Singapore, His Holiness left a pair of shoes in the Centre signifying profundity, His ever presence and notably, His impending physical return. Since then, many Rinpoches and lamas from our Kagyud lineage have visited the Centre and arrangements were made for them to give teachings and blessings to members and devotees bringing great benefits to innumerable people.
