Palpung Zhyisil Chokyi Ghatsal Trust held a long life puja

From 28 - 30 August, Palpung Zhyisil Chokyi Ghatsal Trust held a long life puja for Ven. Choje Lama Shedrup at Palpung Thubten Chokyi Ghatsal, which was led by Ven. Lama Lobsang.

This included Amitayu (Long Life puja) and Konchok Chidu (The Embodiment of All Jewels) practice where everyone received a long life blessing.

On the final day there was a Bardo Puja, Khorwa Duntruk (Red Chenrezig) for the deceased and healing of the six realms, and Smoke Puja (Sur puja). This provided an opportunity for many to contribute and make offerings for the deceased and living.
