Tergar Shrine Hall,
27 February 2025
Today was the final day of the Tibetan Year of the Wood Dragon. Tomorrow will be Losar, the first day of the Year of the Female Wood Snake. After three days of the Mahakala ritual combined with Tseringma, the nuns met early in the morning to conclude the Gutor.
They offered a final Short Mahakala before the Ritual for Receiving Siddhis, when the great torma is taken around the congregation and everyone breaks off a small piece and eats it, receiving the blessings from the ritual.
They then performed the Sang or smoke offering “Cloudbanks of Amrita”; the ritual fire for the offerings burned on the path in front of Tergar Shrine Hall.
The Gutor was successfully concluded and everything made ready for the new year.
