Later in the day, His Holiness visited Ground Zero, where he was again welcomed and given a VIP tour by the co-founders of the Tribute Center.
下午，法王與隨行人員抵達911事件悲劇災難現場，法王再度受到了貴賓式的歡迎，並由Tribute Center創辦人陪同帶領參訪。

Talking with some of the monks in the traveling party before the Karmapa arrived, the tour guide stated: “What happened here happened because of hate. The reason why this place exists is because we have to find a way to enlighten people so this doesn’t happen again.”
解說員在法王抵達前向前來準備的僧眾們談到，這裡所曾發生一切的是因為『恨』，而此地存在的意義即是為了要醒悟人們記取教訓不讓傷害再度發生。

After touring the exhibits and displays about the tragic events of 9/11 and the people whose lives and families were impacted by those events, His Holiness stopped to talk to Theresa Mullan, the mother of Michael Dermott Mullan, a firefighter whose life was taken on 9/11. She showed the Karmapa photographs of her son from an album she carries with her, and gave him a laminated memorial card with Michael’s name and photograph on it, which the Karmapa put into his pocket.
在展示說明了有關911的悲劇事件及在此事件中深受影響的受害者及受害者家人之後，法王停下來與一位在911事件中犧牲的消防人員 〈Michael Dermott Mullan〉的母親泰瑞莎末蘭〈Theresa Mullan〉女士交談，她給了法王一張他兒子的紀念卡，法王隨即將此卡放入了他的口袋裡。

After speaking with Mrs. Mullan, His Holiness signed the Tribute Center’s guest book, writing several lines in TibetanEnglish.
聽完了許多犧牲者的故事後，法王於簽名簿上專注地用藏文寫上了幾行字。(Bamboo：他直接用英文写的。)

Through peaceful hearts,
Peaceful feelings,
And peaceful intelligence,
May this world truly move
From darkness to light.

The Karmapa was then escorted outdoors to a section of the 9/11 memorial site that is closed to the public — the last dignitary to visit this section was the Pope. His Holiness offered flowers and prayers to honor the victims of 9/11.
隨後，法王由陪同人員引領到戶外一座紀念911事件的特別區域，此區域並不對大眾開放，最近剛參訪過此紀念區的名人是羅馬教皇。法王特別獻上鮮花與祈願文給予911事件中的所有犧牲者。
