The annual Guru Dragpo puja

The annual Guru Dragpo puja at Ayang Rinpoche's monastery in Bylakuppe, India, begins February 19, 2017 and continues for 7 days through February 25, 2017. Guru Dragpo is practiced at the end of the Tibetan lunar year to dispel obstacles and purify any remaining negativities in order to usher in happiness and prosperity for the New Year (Losar), which is February 27th this year.

You may participate at home by reciting the Guru Dragpo short mantra:

OM AH HUNG ARTSIK NIRTSIK NAMO BHAGAWATE HUNG HUNG AH HUNG HUNG PHAT//

You may also participate by reciting the Guru Rinpoche mantra (see below) or the Seven-Line Prayer to Guru Rinpoche. Click here for Ayang Rinpoche's teaching on the Seven-Line Prayer, and the prayer in Tibetan and English.

Ayang Rinpoche has said that anyone sponsoring Dharma activities gains the same merit as the practitioners. Make a US tax-deductible contribution to the Guru Dragpo puja using PayPal or your credit card by clicking here.
