20-28 February 2025 (9 days)
This year, as in the previous one, we are going to practice Gutor according to the long Mahakala puja, known as Dangwa Namseg or Ngyntok. This is the same text that is used in all Kagyu monasteries during Gutor. Late Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche wished that we would also recite that text in our Centre in Grabnik since its blessing and benefits are inconceivable.
PROGRAMME
Led by: Khenpo Woesung from Benchen Monastery
Gutor is an intensive week-long Mahakala practice which, according to many-centuries long tradition of the Kagyu Lineage, is performed before Losar - Tibetan New Year.
The text of the puja can be recited only by people who have received the Mahakala Bernagchen empowerment, yet everyone may attend the event. You can stay at this time in the temple and, while listening to the puja, recite the prayers you know or do your own meditation. You can also sponsor the stay or meals of other participants or make donation for the materials needed to prepare the ritual (rice for offering bowls, oats for tormas, butter for torma ornaments, tealights, incense, tsok offerings etc.). Thanks to these activities you will accumulate merit and receive the same blessing as those who recite the puja.
More details soon.
