On July 6, 2018, Tulkus, Khenpos, Lamas and the entire monastic community of Palpung Sherabling Monastic Seat gathered at the main temple to celebrate His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s 83rd birthday. The celebration began at 9 am with prayers of auspiciousness, followed by an offering of a mandala and representations of body, speech and mind in front of a sacred image of His Holiness, along with a tea and sweet rice offering. The entire monastic community recited long-life prayers and at the end, everyone offered a white ceremonial scarf to His Holiness Dalai Lama’s sacred image. At 3 pm, the programme continued in the monastery courtyard with a contemporary birthday celebration, including an offering of birthday cakes and sweets. The function was concluded by chanting verses of auspiciousness.
