Nyingma Menlom Chenmo for world peace to be held at Bodhgaya from 31 Jan to 10 Feb

BODHGAYA, 20 Jan: The annual Nyingma Menlom Chenmo is scheduled to begin here at the Mahabodhi Temple on 31 January and continue till 10 February.
The Nyingma Menlom Chenmo, also known as the “Great World Peace Prayer Ceremony”, has been held every year at Bodhgaya since 1989, setting up a unique congregation of Nyingma masters, yogis, Tulkus, Khenpos, monks, nuns, Ngakpas, lay people and practitioners who assemble at Bodhgaya to pry together over ten days for world peace.
The prayers start on “Namgang Chechi” which falls on the first day of the twelfth month of the Tibetan Lunar Calendar coinciding this year with 31 January.
According to the World Nyingma Foundation Office in Bodhgaya, this year, around 15,000 senior monks, nuns, Tulkus, Khenpos, and ngakpas will attend the prayers joined by thousands of devotees from India and abroad. The Menlom Chenmo will be led by Shinchen Rangcheom Rinpoche and Tsutrul Rinpoche.
During the Menlom Chenmo, a special prayer - Zyambel Charchok - will be performed for world peace and blessings.
