Tibet Butter Lamp Festival: in memory of Tsongkhapa in his main seat - Ganden Monastery

Tashi Delek!

Butter Lamp Festival is one of the important Tibetan religious festivals. It is held every year on October 25 of the Tibetan calendar. In the last year, it was the 10th day of December in the Gregorian calendar.

On that day, all Tibetans, no matter we are at the monastery or home, will light a butter lamp to memorize Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

Last year, I spent the day touring Ganden Monastery and participating in events with my Tibetan friends.

Here, I will show you two highlights of the Ganden Monastery Butter Lamp Festival. One is the display of the huge Thangka painting of Master Tsongkhapa, which has a history of 612 years. The other is the ritual of numerous butter lamps lighted up at night at Ganden Monastery.

Hope you will enjoy this video as much as I do.
