Dharma friends from around the Bay Area converged on the San Francisco airport this afternoon, urgently texting one another to reassure themselves they were all in the right place at the right moment to greet His Holiness the Karmapa. His flight arrived with a slight delay, which allowed the large numbers of Tibetan as well as international disciples to position themselves as His Holiness was ushered through the terminal towards his vehicle. After an emotional welcome by nearly 200 overjoyed students, His Holiness the Karmapa entered his car, with a smile and a gentle wave to those standing on the curb bowing and waving to him.
法王班機抵達的時間稍有延遲，這剛好讓眾多的藏人和國際弟子得以站好位置，目睹法王由航廈出口，一路被護送至登車處。法王在近200名欣喜的信眾的熱烈歡迎下登上座車，沿途向頂禮揮手的信眾，報以微笑和致意的手勢。

The party proceeded directly from San Francisco airport to Rosewood Sand Hill in Palo Alto, California, where the traditional welcome with a tea and rice ceremony awaited him.
法王一行由舊金山機場直趨帕羅奧圖(Palo Alto)的紫檀沙丘市(Rosewood Sand Hill)，而西藏傳統的迎賓典禮將在此舉行。

All rose as His Holiness entered the intimate venue and ascended the throne. The mandala offering was made to the 17th Karmapa by Lama Lodru of Kagyu Droden Kunchab Dharma center of San Francisco. Also making offerings in the procession were a Khenpo from Palpung Lungtok Choeling in nearby San Jose, Lama Tsultrim Allione of Tara Mandala, Dr. James Doty, founder and director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education and representatives of the Tibetan Association of Northern California.
典禮一開始，大眾起身迎接法王進入大廳。法王就座後，由舊金山教傳利生遍在佛學中心的喇嘛洛竹(Lodru)向法王獻曼達。接著，由眾人向法王獻供，其中包括聖荷西(San Jose) 八蚌教證法林的一位堪布、度母曼達拉的喇嘛素淳．艾莉昂(Tsultrim Allione)、史丹佛大學慈悲和利他之研究教學中心創辦人暨主任詹姆斯．多提博士(James Doty)，以及「北加州藏人協會」的代表。

Although the webcast team had arrived in San Francisco only the prior evening, the media team ignored jetlag and scrambled to set up, and were able to share the occasion with those not physically present via live webcast.
前一天晚上才抵達舊金山的網路直播小組，無視於時差的反應，迅速地架好設備，透過網路直播，將此難得的畫面傳遞給無法親臨現場的法友。
