During the 5-day Puja, lamas continued to recite the holy name of Amitabha, mantra, Avalokiteshvara mantra and the Article of Ultimate Bliss. The pious villagers quietly sat down in front of the Sutra Hall for inspiration and followed the monks to read the Buddha's name. The Puja was solemn and supreme, how wonderful!  

The supreme Amitabha Mandala

Many eminent monks were invited by the Monastery to join the Puja

During the Puja, we piously supported the 15th abbot of the Gemeng Temple, the H.E. Pema Wanggyal Rinpoche

The inside and outside area of the Monastery were full of worshippers joining the Puja

The villagers were holding auspicious Khatag offering to the lamas.

It was really difficult to estimate the number of villagers to receive empowerment yesterday. How wonderful! Amitabha!

        Tomorrow would be the September in the Tibetan calendar. This is the supreme heaven month when the Buddha truly became the Buddha and taught the Trāyastri??a and returned to the Samsara world. During this month, no matter reciting the holy name of Amitabha or mantra, holy name of Avalokiteshvara, the om ma ni bê mê hum mantra, worship Buddhas, extensive study of support, repentance of karma, continue spinning of the holy wheel, life release and salvation, etc, the award of any one of the above merit and the good deeds obtained as a result are very incredible.

        Lastly, we sincerely hope that all sentient beings to have firm belief in Amitabha. When passing away, the spirit will go to the World of Ultimate Bliss. Then, you would be integrated into pool of immeasurable merit and the Buddhahood could be achieved early.
