Maha Guru Bumtsok, the offering of a hundred thousand feasts to Maha Guru Padma Sambhava, was annually held for the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the heads of all schools and traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. The ceremony was also observed for the fulfilment of their commitments and the well-being of sentient beings in general.
Representative Thinlay Chukki from the Tibet Bureau Geneva attended the 8th Maha Guru Bumtsok along with Tibetan residents. The prayer service will end on 20 May.
