Panchen Lama's First 'Kalachakra' Ritual Closes Successfully in Tibet

The first Kalachakra ritual given by the 11th Panchen Lama Bainqen Erdini Qoigyijabu, vice president of the Buddhist Association of China, concluded Sunday in Xigaze of Tibet Autonomous Region, with over 400,000 people attending the event. The four-day Kalachakra (wheel of time) ritual was held in the New Palace of the Panchen Lama at the request of the monks of the Zhaxi Lhunbo Lamasery, the home temple of Panchen Lamas in Xigaze. The ritual includes a series of teachings and initiations given by gurus to help Buddhists through the cycle of life. Some 100 lamas and 5,000 monks and nuns from Tibet, Sichuan, Gansu, Qinghai and Yunnan attended the ritual. It is the first time in 50 years that the ritual has been performed in Tibet. "I paid this special visit to attend the Kalachakra ritual because the 11th Panchen Lama is wise. He has read so many Buddhist Scriptures, and we all will learn something from his teachings and initiations. Good luck to the Kalachakra ritual," said Wangla, a local resident of Xigaze. "I have been a monk for more than 30 years, and have attended so many dharma assemblies. But it is the first time for me to attend such a large-scale Kalachakra ritual. Young as he is, he is of high attainments, which is surprising," said Lozang Gyaltsen, vice director of Barling temple of Chamdo in Tibet. "Panchen Rinpoche has set a good example for living Buddhists, especially the young ones. In the next several years, I will give a Kalachakra ritual in my temple to deliver the series of teachings and initiations I received this time," said Lama Thubten Drakpa from Gyatso Ling Monastery of Chamdo in Tibet. Zhaxi Lhunbo Lamasery, the 11th Panchen Lama began preparations one month ago. He has received some 1,000 initiations and performed head-touching blessings for about 1.5 million Buddhists. The success of the Kalachakra ritual marked the development of Panchen lama's attainments. More on: http://www.cctvplus.com/news/20160726...
