29-31 December 2025 (3 days)

Mahakala practice

---

Led by: Lama Ela and Lama Wlodek

Seminar begins on Monday the 29th of December at 9:00 a.m. and ends on Wednesday the 31st of December at about 1 p.m.

Taking the opportunity that many people have days off on these dates, we will gather together to practice Mahakala sadhana. We will perform the short version of the Mahakala puja known as Kham-Yig ma, which is performed daily in many Kamtsang monasteries. We will practice in three sessions a day. Practitioners will have the opportunity to recite many mantras, and those who wish may also learn or improve playing ritual instruments and making tormas.

Mahakala Bernagchen is the main Dharma Protector in the Karma Kamtsang tradition. This practice powerfully removes outer, inner and secret obstacles to Dharma practice.

Only those who have received the Mahakala Bernagchen empowerment may actively take part in the puja. Others are welcome to stay in the temple, taking inspiration from the sound of the puja and engaging in their individual practice.
