October 22nd marks the 49th and last day of this series of pujas, which will culminate in a grand 1000 Offering Namgyalma Puja.

Time: 10am – 1pm (Part 1), 3pm – 7pm (Part 2)
Admission: Free
Led by eminent high lamas including H.E. Kensur Rinpoche Lobsang Phende (the Abbot Emeritus of Shar Gaden Monastery), the Venerable 7th Panglung Oracle and Venerable Zawa Tulku Rinpoche, this extensive puja to the Buddhist Goddess Namgyalma features offerings in great abundance, including 1000 offerings each of water, flowers, incense, candles and tormas.
As part of the trinity of long life deities, Namgyalma is associated with longevity and the process of spiritual purification. Her extended puja, with its extensive offerings and mantra recitations (1000 recitations of her long mantra in total) is particularly significant in relations to H.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s parinirvana as it generates the spiritual merits and blessings for us to have Rinpoche’s unmistaken reincarnation swiftly return to this realm and to live a long and meaningful life of benefiting others.
