Monlam Chenmo Draws 1,700 Monks and Nuns to Dharma Centre During Sacred Relics Exposition.
Leh, May 14: The Dharma Centre at Choglamsar on Thursday witnessed a large gathering of monks, nuns and devotees during the observance of Monlam Chenmo organised by the Ladakh Gonpa Association (LGA) as part of the ongoing Sacred Exposition of the Holy Relics of the Tathagata Buddha.
Nearly 1,700 monks and nuns participated in the grand prayer congregation held in the sacred presence of the Holy Relics following the auspicious arrival of the Relics from Zanskar. The prayers were led in the presence of H.E. Tsamtul Rinpoche, H.E. Drukpa Thuksey Rinpoche and H.E. Rigyal Rinpoche, with prayers offered for universal peace, compassion and the well-being of all sentient beings.
Devotees from different parts of Ladakh and visiting pilgrims continued to arrive at the Dharma Centre throughout the day to offer prayers, seek blessings and pay obeisance before the Holy Relics. The Dukhang reverberated with collective chants, creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere across the premises.
Necessary arrangements were put in place at the venue to facilitate the smooth conduct of the programme and the convenience of devotees, including medical assistance facilities and help desks.
