Burn the Mortgage! Fire Puja and Celebration

Burn the Mortgage! Fire Puja and Celebration ~ Saturday, November 22, 2014

To celebrate the end of construction debt for KSC the lamas led the fire puja called Riwo Sangchö (Mountain Smoke Offering). Along with aromatic cedar wood and branches, silks, foods, medicinal herbs, incense, sweets, and roasted barley flour, a symbolic mortgage was burned. The meditation was accompanied with drum and cymbals. Afterwards, the Sangha and donors enjoyed light appetizers and a gratitude cake to celebrate the close of this amazing chapter in the history of Kagyu Sukha Chöling.
