Brief description: The ‘Grand Gutor Puja’ (Gutor Chenmo) is traditionally performed towards the end of the last Tibetan lunar month of the year. The purpose of the ‘Grand Gutor Puja’ is to clear away all of the sickness, suffering, bad luck, and obstacles of the past year and to request the blessings for an auspicious fresh start for the year to come. You are cordially invited to participate.
Event details: All of the monks of the monastery participate in this special puja, in which offerings and prayers are made to Yamantaka, the wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the embodiment of the wisdom (prajna) of all the Buddhas. This special practice will be performed for five consecutive days in order to bestow great benefit and blessing to all participants – including the clearing away of both inner and outer obstacles to our lives and practice, the overcoming of illness, and the endowment of profound confidence, wisdom, and merit.
