Led by Gyalwa Dokhampa, there will be a kora of 13 #circumambulations around #Swayambunath Stupa in Nepal starting at 8pm on June 3, 2019. The event will end 7am on the morning of June 4, 2019.
The kora is in commemoration of Lord Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana in this auspicious month of #SagaDawa. Swayambunath Stupa is one of the holiest places on #Nepal, and it is believed the hill is a self-arisen (Rangjung) chorten originating from a lotus planted by the Buddha. #Manjushri later drained the lake with the lotus, making the site accessible to all. It is believed that #13circumambulations around the holy Stupa will greatly #purify one’s #karma. The event will be dedicated to the benefit of all sentient beings, especially those in lower realms so that they may be liberated.
Participants will recite the six syllable heart mantra of Avalokiteshvara one million times and offer 100,000 butter lamps as part of the effort. Organized by the Young Drukpa Association - YDA, Nepal, this event is open to all who would like to join.
