Long Life Puja

Monday was Rimpoche’s actual birthday and so we had a long life puja or ceremony for Rimpoche because we really want him to stay around with us for a long, long time.

...part of the text for the ceremony. It lasted about four hours with a lot of chanting, invoking, visualizing and offerings including Tibetan butter tea (yum!) and delicious raisin-y rice.
