Brief description: These special practices are dedicated to the flourishing of the Buddha’s teachings, and in particular the Drikung Kagyu tradition. They are also offered for the long life and success of all spiritual masters, the elimination of disease, famine, conflict, and natural disasters, the spreading of peace and harmony throughout the world, and for the well-being of all sentient beings. You are cordially invited to participate.

Event details: The ‘Gonpo Tordok’ ritual is performed annually at the Drigung Kagyu Rinchen Palri Monastery. This ten-day ritual, held this year from December 29th to January 7th, aims to dispel both inner and outer obstacles for the benefit of all sentient beings.

The ‘Nam-sey Yangdup’ is an elaborate prosperity and abundance summoning ceremony performed annually over six days, this year from December 29th to January 3rd. This ritual invokes the energies of wealth deities to generate material resources, abundance, and prosperity. The merits accumulated from participating in the Yangdup ritual are considered immense, not only for generating material wealth but also for enhancing health, longevity, and spiritual development.

The ‘Achi Kang-Dhoe’ is a special practice conducted annually over seven days, this year from January 11th to 17th. Offerings and prayers are made to the protector Achi Chokyi Dolma to purify negativities and restore broken commitments. Propitiating and making offerings to Achi Chokyi Dolma is regarded as highly beneficial for overcoming spiritual and worldly obstacles.

The monastery will also perform a Garcham (Sacred Masked Dance) on January 6th, 2026.

There is no webcast for this event. Gompa member-supporters are invited to register for the event and to send offerings, together with dedications, at any time up until January 17th, 2026.
