SUMMARY:Tsongkhapa Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Tsongkhapa Day or Ganden Ngamchoe commemorates the Enlightenment and parinirvana of Lama Tsongkhapa\, the 14th century Buddhist scholar and saint who founded the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Also known as the Butter Lamp Festival\, it falls on the 25th day of the 10th Tibetan month. \nOn this special day\, both lay and ordained devotees typically make extensive offerings and engage in Guru puja practices. As all merits accumulated on this significant day are multiplied 100\,000 times\, gathering in prayer together strengthens the quality of our spiritual practice and is a reminder for all of us to seek the blessings of the lineage masters and to remain steadfast on the path to Enlightenment. \nCelebrate the 600th anniversary of Lama Tsongkhapa’s parinirvana this 21st December 2019 with a day of auspicious prayer and fellowship in Kechara Forest Retreat. The highlight of the event is a Special Lama Chopa Puja performed in traditional Tibetan style complete with ritual music and sacred melodies. Listening to or reciting these profound holy verses will generate a vast amount of merit and positive energy for auspiciousness and blessings. \n  \nEvent Details\nDate: 21 December 2019 (Saturday)\nTime: 8:45am – 3:30 pm\nVenue: Kechara Forest Retreat \n  \nProgramme\n8.00am – Doors open\n8.45am – Animal liberation\n9:15am – Pastor vow renewal\n10.00am – Welcome speech\n10.15am – Body\, speech and mind offering\n10.30am – Lama Chopa puja with tsok offerings\n12.30pm – Candle lighting\n1.00pm – Break\n2.30pm – Dharma sharing on “The Life Story of Lama Tsongkhapa”\n3.30pm – Goodbye \n  \nTsongkhapa Day Offerings\nIn the peaceful and serene environs of Kechara Forest Retreat\, take the opportunity to offer lights on behalf of your loved ones at the magnificent statue of Lama Tsongkhapa in ‘long life form’.

Of these\, some of the most well-known include the founding of the Three Pillars of the Gelugpa tradition – Gaden\, Sera and Drepung Monasteries\, establishing the Great Prayer Festival (Monlam Chenmo) in 1409\, and composing the Lamrim Chenmo – ‘The Great Exposition of the Stages of the Path’. \nKnown as the Second Buddha of our fortunate time\, this great saint led a life of the highest ethics\, held his vows perfectly and was instrumental in the revival of the Buddha’s teachings that were deteriorating during that period of time. At the age of 63\, Lama Tsongkhapa entered into Samadhi meditation\, made extensive inner offerings and then stopped his breath. Many witnessed his body transform to that of a 16-year-old with rainbow lights emitting from it. These signs are all hallmarks of an extraordinary being’s parinirvana. \nSo join us this coming 21st December to celebrate Lama Tsongkhapa Day and don’t forget to take the opportunity to generate tremendous merits for yourself and others.
