On the morning of May 1, 2027, coinciding with the auspicious celebration of the three holy events in the life of our compassionate and skillful Teacher, the Buddha—his birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana—the monastic seat's tulkus, lamas, khenpos, monks, and nuns gathered in the great assembly courtyard of Palpung Sherabling Monastic Seat in India. Preceded by the Sojong ritual for the purification and renewal of the vows, they offered prayers in commemoration of the Buddha's life, qualities, and deeds through the ritual of Glorious Hevajra, accompanied by an elaborate ganachakra offering.

In the afternoon, Guru Vajradhara His Holiness Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa, escorted by monks carrying incense, ascended his throne. Representatives of the Tantric College then offered him a mandala along with the three sacred representations, after which traditional tea and sweet rice were served to all those gathered. The graduating students then led with a discourse on the Five Auspicious Circumstances, followed by a teaching on the mandalas of the ocean of tantras, an exposition on tormas, a Dharma teaching on the sacred vajra dances, and a discussion on the ritual procedures of the visual transmission tradition.

Guru Vajradhara then presented graduation certificates to those who had completed their studies and appointed specially trained instructors in the visual transmission tradition. He subsequently bestowed guidance and advice beneficial for both this life and future lives, emphasizing the importance of maintaining mindfulness and awareness in all aspects of daily life; the crucial need to adapt one's Dharma teachings to the capacities and dispositions of students while refraining from any personal embellishment or adulteration of the teachings; and the responsibility of the Dharma upholders to consider the endurance of the Buddha's teachings and to exercise vigilance in all their thoughts and conduct.

Finally, the ceremony was brought to an auspicious conclusion as the graduates offered a long-life ceremony to Guru Vajradhara, expressing their aspiration for his longevity and the flourishing of his enlightened activities.
