Title:
Guru Padma Sambhava

Description:
The Dharma Chakra Center, Rumtek, performed Guru Rinpoche's Tsechu Puja from May 20th to 26th, 2007. Lord Padmasambhava, Guru Rinpoche, was born miraculously in a lotus flower on the Dhanakosha Lake in the country of Orgyen. An emanation of Chenrezik, he showed the way to attain enlightenment through relying on human teachers. At the invitation of the Dharma king Trisong Detsen and the abbot Shantarakshita, he established the Dharma in Tibet during the eighth century. Immortal, he resides in the Pure Land known as the Glorious Copper-Colored Mountain. In Rumtek, every alternate year, special Guru Rinpoche's puja is performed by the monks from the monastery and Nalanda Institute in the main shrine hall. This year, the puja began on May 20th and every day it lasted whole day, with breaks in between sessions, starting in early morning. The grand Tsechu Puja culminated on May 26th and was completed by the lama dances performed on that day by monks in the monastery courtyard.
