7月18日上午，法王噶瑪巴應蘇嘉西藏兒童村學校(TCV School,Suja)師生之祈請，給予白度母長壽灌頂。來自蘇加、勾帕普、羌塔拉地區之西藏兒童村的師生，及靠近比瑞鎮藏人社區內之寺院僧俗信眾等齊聚參加此一灌頂法會。

法王是在前一日（17日）下午3:30左右抵達學校。學校所有師生、工作人員熱情歡迎法王的到來，法王將會停留三天，給予灌頂及佛法開示。

距離上密院有62公里遠，位於比爾省藏人社區的蘇嘉西藏兒童村學校是達蘭沙拉校本部的分校。學校的建立主要是提供給剛從西藏出走印度的學童就讀。目前約有一千八百多位學生從幼稚園至十年級的學生，而大部份在這就讀的學生，也都已住在印度三年以上的時間。

在灌頂法會結束後，法王給予學生們及信眾有關『藏人教育和未來』的簡短開示。

7月19日，法王於清晨時間視察學校的每一間教室，其中並停留一兩分鐘的時間一起與學生們聽課。

下午，法王走訪所有的寄宿家庭並給予新的寄宿住屋加持祝福。法王也品嚐了學生們做的午餐。

隨後，法王一行人驅車返回上密院結束了三天的活動行程。

His Holiness Karmapa gave a White Tara Long life empowerment this morning (July 18th) at the Tibetan Children’s Village (TCV) School in Suja. Large assemblies of students, from TCV Suja, Gopalpur, Chauntara; people from the nearby Tibetan settlements of Bir and Chauntara; and monastic people, attended the long life empowerment. The TCV School in Suja had requested the empowerment.

His Holiness arrived at the school around 3:30pm yesterday (July 17). All the students and staff of the school offered a warm welcome for His Holiness’ three day visit.

TCV Suja School is a branch of TCV Dharamsala. Suja School is located near to the Tibetan Settlement of Bir, which is 62 Kilometers from Gyuto. The school was established for new arrivals from Tibet. There are approximately 1800 students currently studying at TCV Suja; their levels of education ranging from pre-school up to the 10th grade. Most of the students have only been in India for three years, since the time they left Tibet.

In conclusion to the empowerment, His Holiness gave a short talk to the students, and to the public, about education and the future of Tibet.

On July 19th, His Holiness visited each classroom during the morning session and, in some classes, stayed to observe some lessons for 1-2 minutes. His Holiness also visited all the foster homes and consecrated the new foster homes in the afternoon. During his visit at one of the homes, His Holiness even had a taste of the lunch that was being served to the students.

His Holiness has concluded his visit and has arrived back in Gyuto.
