We are delighted to announce the Achi Chokyi Drolma Fulfillment Ritual, to be held January 15, 16, and 17. On January 18, we will conclude with the White Dzambala and Summoning of Good Fortune ceremony.

This sacred gathering is offered in honor of Achi Chokyi Drolma, the great Protectoress and Dharma Guardian. Through these practices, we invoke blessings for peace, prosperity, well-being, and harmony throughout the world, and dedicate to the long lives of all our precious Lamas. Everyone is warmly invited to take part in this auspicious occasion.

During this beautiful puja, the Lamas and Anis join together to recite the extensive Achi Chokyi Drolma text in Tibetan. Participants are welcome to accumulate the Achi mantra and make offerings in support of the mandala offerings and the many activities of the puja.

We look forward to sharing this meritorious Dharma gathering with you.
🌼 May the blessings of Achi fill our lives with wisdom, protection, and compassion.
