Event ID: 4674
Event type:
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.

There is no webcast for this event. Gompa member-supporters are invited to register for the event and to send offerings, together with dedications, at any time up until June 29th, 2026.

Event type:
Brief description: Saka Dawa commemorates the holiest and most sacred days in Tibetan Buddhism. Falling in the fourth month of the Tibetan calendar, the special activities during Saka Dawa culminate on the full moon of the 15th lunar day, which this year falls on May 31st, 2026. This time is associated with three major events in the life of Buddha Shakyamuni — his birth, enlightenment, and mahaparinirvana. The merit of any good deeds performed during the special month of Saka Dawa is considered to be multiplied many times. You are cordially invited to participate.

Event details: During the month of Saka Dawa, the entire monk assembly gathers together each day to perform Avalokiteshvara rituals and recite the six-syllable heart mantra of Avalokiteshvara (the embodiment of the compassion of all the buddhas).

The monastery will also perform its annual ‘Nine-Deity Kalachakra Drupchod’ for five days during this sacred month. This Drupchod is a complex Vajrayana practice based on the Kalachakra Tantra. In this Drupchod, practitioners invoke and meditate on the nine deities of the Kalachakra mandala, which represent various aspects of enlightened awareness. This Drupchod generates profound benefits, including the purification of negative karma, the accumulation of merit for spiritual growth, transformation towards enlightened awareness, protection from obstacles, healing physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and the promotion of global peace, harmony, and understanding.
