Annual Ngensong Dongdruk Puja

The Annual Ngensong Dongdruk Puja at Do-Ngak Ling Monastery takes place every year, usually in the 6th or 7th month of the lunar calendar (see schedule here).

Offerings and names of dedication for this year's Ngensong Dongdruk Puja are accepted until 12pm Kathmandu time 1 day before the puja begins. Offerings and names of dedication received later than this will be included in next year's Ngensong Dongdruk Puja.

Over the course of three days our monks will accumulate 150 repetitions of the Ngensong Dongdruk puja, the Akshobhya practice of the Tukdrup Barché Künsel cycle.

In this very special practice, Akshobhya is invoked together with the buddhas of the five families, the five manifestations of Avalokiteshvara, as well as a further eight bodhisattvas.

Ngensong Dongdruk is a powerful method for purification and especially for guiding the deceased. Through the purification of the negative karmic causes and conditions, this practice ensures a good rebirth, the fulfillment of wishes, and the accumulation of merit and wisdom.

For this special puja, please mark clearly which dedications are for those who are alive and which are for the deceased.
