𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐆𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐘-𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐘. On the auspicious occasion of Lhabab Duchen (the anniversary of Lord Buddha’s Descent from the Heaven of Thirty-Three), when it is said that the merit of any good deeds is multiplied many times, we are pleased to offer the opportunity to send offerings and dedications to Shree Gaden Dhargay-Ling monastery, Pokhara, Nepal, in support of the ‘Rabne Gelek Charbeb’ (The Profound Virtue and Goodness Consecration Ritual), by way of Vajrabhairava (Jig-je), to be performed from November 4th to 12th, 2025. You are cordially invited to participate. Gompa member-supporters can send offerings, together with dedications, at any time up until November 12th, 2025.
The Event:
Lhabab Duchen is one of the holiest and most sacred days in Tibetan Buddhism. Observed on the 22nd day of the ninth Tibetan lunar month (which this year falls on November 11th), Lhabab Duchen commemorates the Buddha’s return to the human realm after giving teachings to his mother for three months in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three. The merit of all positive actions performed at this time is said to be greatly multiplied.
Every year Shree Gaden Dhargay-Ling monastery performs the prelude, principal section, and the conclusion of the Rabne Gelek Charbeb consecration ritual in the ninth Tibetan Lunar month. The ‘Consecration Ritual’ (Rabne) is a powerful practice for cleansing negativities, sicknesses and obstacles, which includes the re-consecration of all the statues, sacred texts and stupas at the monastery, thereby re-empowering all these sacred objects to radiate enlightened and protective qualities throughout the environment for the benefit of all sentient beings. A fire offering puja is also performed on the last day of the consecration ritual. The consecration ritual will be carried out in the presence of all the senior lamas and the entire monk assembly.
