Brief description: Zamling Chisang (Universal Prayer and Purification Day) is an auspicious occasion which commemorates the completion of Samye Monastery, the first Tibetan Buddhist monastery built in Tibet, by Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). It is a day celebrating and strengthening the pacification of obstructive forces and the purification of past negative karma. You are cordially invited to participate.
Event details: In Tibetan Buddhism, the Incense Offering Ritual (Sang-sol) is a significant practice for purification, merit-making, and expressing reverence. Incense, often a blend of aromatic substances like juniper, sandalwood, and other herbs, is burned to create a fragrant smoke which symbolizes purification and the removal of obstacles. The smoke itself is considered a form of offering, and the practice is believed to purify the environment, create positive energy, and accumulate merit. The practice is often performed during special occasions, festivals, and ceremonies.
