在此次美國弘法行的最後一場與藏人團體的聚會中，法王噶瑪巴為近四千名會眾傳授長壽灌頂和開示。這場由華盛頓州藏人協會(the Tibetan Association of Washington)主辦的聚會，是法王在美兩個月於各地接見藏人團體的第八場。

在全美各地的藏人聚會中，法王都會受到傳統裝扮的藏族舞者的歡迎，這次自然也不例外。藏人行政中央的北美代表國會議員札西．南嘉．康希倉(Tashi Namgyal Khamsitsang)和華盛頓州藏人協會會長天津．確吉(Tenzin Chokey)分別在會中致詞。會長天津．確吉向法王表達熱烈的謝意，感謝法王為西藏文化和宗教、女性權益，尤其是為藏傳佛教尼眾所做的一切努力。

In his final meeting with Tibetan communities during this trip, His Holiness the 17th Karmapa granted an Amitayus long-life empowerment and delivered a Dharma discourse to an audience of 1,350 people. This event, organized by the Tibetan Association of Washington, represents the eighth time during his two months in the United States that His Holiness made time to meet with Tibetans in various parts of the country.
