Light the light of wisdom with candle offerings to the Second Buddha
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.
As merits accumulated on this auspicious day are multiplied 100,000 times, devotees typically make extensive offerings and engage in Guru puja practices. Furthermore, gathering in prayer together strengthens the quality of our spiritual practice and brings us the blessings of the lineage masters to remain steadfast on the path to Enlightenment.
Celebrate Tsongkhapa Day on December 14 (Sun) with a traditional Lama Chopa Tsog puja in Kechara Forest Retreat, complete with ritual music and sacred melodies.
