His Holiness left Tergar Monastery in the early morning to begin the western New Year by offering his homage at the Mahabodhi Temple, marking the place where the Buddha attained full awakening. The Gyalwang Karmapa was welcomed to the sacred site by Mr. N.T. Dorje, Secretary of the Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee, and the Head Monk-in-Charge the Venerable Bande.
西曆2016年元旦清晨，法王從德噶寺出發，前往佛陀成道的聖地正覺大塔(the Mahabodhi Temple)進行朝拜。在抵達正覺大塔時，法王受到菩提迦耶寺院管理委員會(the Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee)秘書長多傑先生(Mr. N.T. Dorje)和主事僧人潘德．察林達(Bande Chalinda)的歡迎。

The Gyalwang Karmapa passed under the first gate, covered in beautiful flowers, and descended the long steps on the path to the main temple. Along both sides stood disciples holding white offering scarves and colorful blossoms to brighten his passage and receive his blessing.
穿過滿覆鮮花的第一道大門後，法王步下長長的階梯，直驅正覺大塔主殿。手持白色哈達和各色花朵的信眾，站在道路兩旁恭迎法王並領受加持。

Once inside the shrine, His Holiness offered to the radiant Buddha statue, golden robes along with heaping bowls of fruit and generous arrangements of flowers. After three prostrations, the Gyalwang Karmapa began the prayers in praise of the Buddha:
法王首先向主殿中的世尊聖像獻上黃金法衣、豐盛的鮮花和水果。在向世尊行三拜後，法王接著念誦對世尊的禮讚文：

善巧慈悲生於釋迦族，
威儀赫赫身似金須彌，
世尊當初發起菩提心，
此時所作佛行極廣大 …

These verses were followed by prayers for peace and well-being to spread throughout the world and into the hearts of all living beings.
法王接著祈願世界以及所有眾生心中擁有和平與幸福。

Earlier, the Gyalwang Karmapa departed from New Delhi on December 22th and arrived in the afternoon at Tergar Monastery in Bodhgaya, his residence during the winter months. This year was a special occasion as Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, who has been on solitary retreat in the Himalayas for four years, was there at the gate to welcome His Holiness. The reception was accompanied by a traditional golden procession of colorful banners and resonant drums and horns. Crowds of ordained and lay disciples filled the area, delighted to see the Gyalwang Karmapa again as they held out their flowing white scarves.
法王稍早於去年12月22日從新德里出發，並在當天下午抵達菩提迦耶德噶寺，而德噶寺將是法王冬季活動的駐錫地。德噶寺尊貴的詠給明就仁波切，不久前才結束獨自雲遊喜馬拉雅地區的四年閉關。這次在法王抵達時，睽違多年的仁波切特別在德噶寺的大門恭迎。在持寶幢、擊大鼓、吹號角的傳統僧隊的前導下，法王的車隊緩緩駛入，寺院周圍聚滿僧俗二眾，白色哈達迎風飛舞。

Tergar Monastery is also the site of the yearly Akshobhya retreat, which started on December 24th and will last for forty days. Following the wishes of His Holiness, this special retreat, focused on the phase of approach, takes place in Bodhgaya as part of Kagyu Monlam Chenmo. This year thirty-six participants have come from all over the world and include monks and nuns as well as female and male lay disciples. For preliminaries of the practice, the Gyalwang Karmapa bestowed the empowerment of Akshobhya in the morning and in the afternoon, gave commentary on the practice along with his guidance and advice. As it will throughout the retreat, the daily practice began at 6am and finished at 8:30pm, encompassing six individual sessions. Continuing to give his counsel, the Gyalwang Karmapa will lead the retreat, and afterward perform the ritual of the fire puja related to Akshobhya.
德噶寺同時是年度不動佛閉關的地點。本屆閉關從12月24日開始為期40天，參加的36位行者是來自世界各地的四眾弟子。閉關前行中，法王在上午給予不動佛灌頂，在下午進行修法講解和指導。閉關期間每日的6座法從清晨6點開始，至晚間8點半結束；法王除了親自帶領修法之外，並將持續給予行者指導。閉關圓滿後，法王會帶領行者在噶舉大祈願法會的正行中，進行不動佛火供超薦。

While present in Bodhgaya, His Holiness will preside over two months’ of activities, which begin with the Arya Kshema Winter Dharma Gathering for nuns, taking place from January 12, 2016 to February 3, 2016. As a prelude to the Tibetan New Year, the Four-Armed Mahakala Torma Offering ritual will be performed from February 4 to 7, 2016. Celebrations for the Tibetan Year of the Male Fire Monkey will be held from February 9 to 11, 2016.
