The Tibetan New Year (known as Losar), falls on the 25th Feb 2009. The Tibetan 1st lunar month is known as the merits multiplying month. During this period, all positive and negative deeds are multiplied by 100,000 times.

THE 1.2 MILLION VAJRA GURU MANTRA RECITATION PROGRAM

Guru Mantra :
Om Ah Hung Benzar Guru Padma Siddhi Hung

The first month of the Tibetan calendar is known as "the multiplying of the blessings month."  During the life of Shakyamuni, many people asked him to perform miracles to prove his enlightenment. He ignored their requests and moved from town to town giving teachings. Finally, when he taught in Shravasti, the people beseeched the King to order Shakyamuni to hold a contest of spiritual or miraculous feats to prove his greatness. The Buddha agreed and as it so happened the first day he began these demonstrations was the first day of Losar till the last day, which falls on the full moon.

This auspicious period is also known as Chotrul Duchen. Whatever good deeds one performs or merits one accumulates during this period, those actions will be multiplied by 100,000 times.  

We has arranged a Vajra Guru Mantra Recitation program from 1st to 11th March 2009. You are strongly encouraged to engage in this wholesome activity with us!

The objectives of this program is:

Ø  To pray for the longevity and good health of His Holiness Penor Rinpoche. May He live as long as the space endures and may his glorious path be constantly obstacles-free!
