Lama Tsongkhapa Day & Lam Rim Winter Walk - Thur 3rd & Fri 4th Dec 2026
Thursday 3 & Friday 4 December 2026
Lam Rim Buddhist Centre, Wales
Join us for two special days at Lam Rim, bringing together Buddhist practice, community and time in the beautiful countryside.
Come along for Lama Tsongkhapa Day on Thursday, our community Winter Walk on Friday, or stay overnight and join both events!
Everyone is warmly welcome, whether you're a regular visitor or joining us for the first time.
Day 1 – Lama Tsongkhapa Day: An Afternoon of Prayer & Practice
Thursday 3 December
2:30pm–6:30pm (with refreshment breaks)
6:30pm - Supper
Join us for a special afternoon of puja, mantra recitation and peaceful meditation in celebration of Lama Tsongkhapa Day (Ganden Ngamchoe), one of the most auspicious days in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar.
This special day commemorates the parinirvana of Lama Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), the great Tibetan Buddhist master and founder of the Gelug tradition. His profound teachings on wisdom, compassion and the path to enlightenment are the main source of guidance and direction for Lam Rim Wales.
We will come together to honour Lama Tsongkhapa's extraordinary life and teachings, engage in traditional practices, accumulate merit and dedicate our prayers for the benefit of all beings.
Afternoon Programme
An afternoon of practice with refreshment breaks, including selections from:
Ganden Lha Gyema (Hundred Deities of the Joyful Land) – Traditional Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga practice, with mantra recitation and peaceful meditation.
Prayers of Lama Tsongkhapa – Songs of the Stages of the Path and In Praise of Dependent Relativity.
Avalokiteshvara & Manjushri Practice – Prayers, mantra and meditation to cultivate compassion & wisdom.
Dedications – Dedicating the merits of our practice.
Stay for Supper
Following the afternoon's practice, you're warmly invited to stay for supper and enjoy time with Dharma friends.
Who Should Join
Everyone is warmly welcome, whether you're a regular practitioner or new to Tibetan Buddhism. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together in practice, deepen your connection with Lama Tsongkhapa's teachings and share in an afternoon of wisdom and compassion.
