Thousands of Buddhist devotees thronged the Guru Lhakhang monastery in Deorali near Gangtok today, to get blessings from senior monks called Rinpoche. “We believe that the eternal blessings would benefit the people of Sikkim and bring prosperity in our life,” said a woman devotee.
A weeklong prayer for Guru Rinpoche (Guru Padmasambhawa) was held in the monastery for World Peace, good fortune and harmony for Sikkim. The celebrations concluded today. “We have purified the state with various Buddhist mantras recited in our weeklong prayers and on the final day today we distributed the holy water and wang (blessing) to the devotees,” said Mr Karma Yangden, a monk of the monastery. “We also prayed for the long life of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama,” he added.
The ‘Annual Vajra Guru Recitation’ for the propagation of Buddhism was organised by the Guru Kubum Nyingma Tsechu Association (GKNTA) of Deorali. The same was observed in other parts of the country and in Bhutan too.
