A LOSAR MESSGE FROM VEN. LAMA TSANG TSING

Posted on by

Dear Dharma Friends, I hope this finds all of you in good health and that your Dharma Practice is going well. As many of you know, Losar, the Tibetan New Year, begins Friday, February 12. Traditionally at this time KDC has held the annual all-day Mahakala Puja to dispel obstacles and negativities so the new year may begin in an auspicious manner.

I, myself, will be doing an all-day 2-Armed Bernachen Mahakala Puja from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Mahakala Day. Also, I will be doing a Continue Reading →
