In response to repeated requests from Karma Kagyu monasteries and other associated institutions and individuals in Nepal, Guru Vajradhara His Holiness Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa, himself a glorious upholder of the monastic vows, performed the ritual of bestowing Getsul (novice) ordination according to the Vinaya doctrine at Pal Tergar Ngedon Lungrik Osel Ling Monastery on June 5, 2026. Acting as both the ordaining preceptor and ceremonial master, assisted by an assembly of the required number of monks serving as the interviewer, assistant preceptor, and so forth, Guru Vajradhara conferred Getsul ordination upon more than 400 male and female devotees seeking liberation.

On the following day, June 6, Guru Vajradhara, together with the mandatory number of assisting monks, bestowed Gelong (full) ordination upon 150 monastics through the four-fold ritual of one request and three proclamations. Thus, a total of approximately 600 male and female devotees received ordination, becoming supreme vessels for attaining the ultimate excellence of liberation.
