History
of the Monlan Chenmo: World Peace Prayers in Bodhgaya
The Nyingma Monlam Chenmo has been
held annually in Bodhgaya since 1989. Bodhgaya is
the place where Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment
and is the most sacred and holy place of pilgrimage
for all Buddhists. Currently over 1600 monasteries
are registered and the ceremonies are attended by
over 10,000 Tulkus, Khenpos, monks, nuns, and vajrayana
practitioners as well as by lay people from all
over the world. This gathering offers 10 days of
prayers for World Peace and the liberation of all
sentient beings.
