Celebrate Lama Tsongkhapa Day, known as Ganden Ngamchö in Tibetan, with a group Lama Chöpa recitation and Tsoh. This annual celebration recognizes the parinirvana of Jamgön Lama Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the founder of the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Je Tsongkhapa was a famed scholar and Buddhist master whose many treatises built upon the foundation established by the early Indian master, Atisha, famous in Tibet for unifying the philosophical traditions of sutra and tantra. Je Tsongkhapa is considered by many to be an emanation of the Buddha of Wisdom, Manjushri, thereby perfecting the qualities of greater compassion and wisdom leading to enlightenment. The tsoh is a community gathering offered as a feast to all enlightened and non-enlightened beings.
Demo Rinpoche will also present a teaching celebrating Tsongkhapa Day entitled Tears of a Bodhisattva on Saturday, December 14th.
Free and open to all.
Onsite at Jewel Heart Ann Arbor or online via Zoom.
