Celebration Lama Tsongkhapa Day

Lama Tsongkhapa Day, or Ganden Ngamchoe, is a celebration of the anniversary of Lama Tsongkhapa’s parinirvana. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the 10th month of the Tibetan calendar. This year, Lama Tsongkhapa Day falls on December 21, 2019, and is the 600th anniversary.

Lama Tsongkhapa is the founder of our lineage, the Gelug tradition, in Tibetan Buddhism. He was a renowned scholar, practitioner, meditator, teacher and author. His studies and meditations in all the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism resulted in the founding of the Gelug lineage. Among his major accomplishments is writing the Lamrim, or the Great Treatise on the Path to Enlightenment, a step-by-step guide to the spiritual practices that lead to enlightenment.

To celebrate we will be having a shared dinner at the centre at 6pm followed by Guru Tsog Puja at 7pm
Bring a vegetarian dish to share and offerings for the altar.
