Join Dakini’s Whisper to conclude 2024 together as we honor Ganden Ngamchoe, or “Ganden Offering of the Twenty-Fifth Day,” commemorates the anniversary of Lama Tsongkhapa’s parinirvana. This year, the auspicious day falls on December 25, coinciding with Christmas!
The celebration is also known as the Light Festival or Butter Lamp Festival, where practitioners light lamps or candles as offerings of prayers and aspirations. (We encourage people to submit photos of a light setup if they want to. It can be their Christmas tree or something else creative.)
As we honor this sacred occasion, we purify our negative actions, celebrate our spiritual masters, express gratitude, and pray for continued blessings. This festival will feature initiation, transmissions, and group practice to deepen our connection with the lineage and illuminate the path ahead.
