Homage to Master Lobsang Drakpa
The Great Master Tsongkhapa’s Annual celebration of his enlightenment falls on the 25th instance of the 10th lunar month of the Tibetan calendar. Therefore the day is also referred to as “Ganden Nga choed” in Tibetan which means the “Offering Practices of the 5th of Ganden Monastery”, the “5th” deriving from “25th”. Ganden Monastery is the Great Master Tsongkhapa's monastery and Mother Monastery of entire Geluk School of Tibetan Buddhism. Tsongkhapa Day is actually the celebration of the ‘parinirvana’ or the enlightenment of the great Master Tsongkhapa (1357 – 1419).
From the spiritual practice point of view, Tsongkhapa Day is extremely significant. All his devotees engage in practicing “Guru Yoga - Union of Emptiness and Bliss Mahamudra” practice, which is the heart and soul of path towards enlightenment, LAM RIM.
Once in Tibet the Anniversary was celebrated like Christmas or Diwali events with full of butters lamps everywhere and chanting the following mantra of Mater Tsongkhapa. In year 2015 Master Tsongkhapa Day held on Saturday, 5° December.
