To all Dharma sponsors and friends,

The public Dhungdrub puja of Guru Rinpoche and the recitation of ten crore (one hundred million) Guru Rinpoche mantras began on 14 June and is continuing at Rumtek Dharma Chakra Centre for the benefit of all sentient beings and for world peace.

While the Dhungdrub puja is ongoing, on July 12 and 13, a two-day abhisheka (kawang) of Guru Rinpoche will be offered by His Eminence Gyaltsap Rinpoche at Dharma Chakra Centre.

The kawang will begin on Saturday and conclude on Sunday, which falls on the auspicious day of Zamling Chisang (Universal Prayer Day). This fifteenth day of the fifth Tibetan month commemorates the occasion of Guru Rinpoche subduing obstructing demons and founding Samye, Tibet's first Buddhist monastery, in the eighth century.

This abhisheka is considered the most sacred from among a collection of termas (hidden treasure texts) of Guru Rinpoche which were revealed by the thirteenth century terton, Guru Chokyi Wangchuk.

All Dharma practioners are cordially invited to attend this special abhisheka.

Yours in the Dharma,

T.D. Lharisang
