Lama Tsong Khapa Day

Lama Tsong Khapa Day is a celebration of the anniversary of the parinirvana of Lama Tsongkhapa and is considered an auspicious and holy day. Lama Tsong Khapa (1357-1419) was a great Tibetan scholar, saint, and yogi of the 14th century and founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. 

The practice text

On this special day we will do Lama Tsong Khapa Guru Yoga which is a traditional practice in Tibetan Buddhism and is a seven-limb prayer related to Lama Tsong Khapa. The practice is recited in English. It is a particularly powerful practice for receiving the blessings of one’s personal teacher and developing the realization of guru devotion. By doing the practice you create positive merits for yourself, others, and the center.
