Dakpo Shadrup Ling Monastery in Gyaca County is a place where people can study and practice Buddhism, and its sutra debates are particularly influential in Tibetan Buddhism. After the prayers, the Panchen Lama began to hold the longevity Kalachakra ceremony. The Panchen Lama solemnly chanted the scriptures with a loud voice, guiding devotees to purify themselves and benefit all beings. Then, the Panchen Lama skillfully used various instruments for incantations as the audience held their hands together and listened attentively.

 

After the chanting, the Panchen Lama held the longevity vase in his right hand, touching the bottom of the vase lightly to the monks’ heads to bestow a blessing. Later, the monks distributed holy water and fruit to the audience. After the Kalachakra was finished, the Panchen Lama also blessed the audience.
