Graduation and Khenpo Enthronement Ceremony

June 24, 2023

At 9 am on June 22, 2023, Guru Vajradhara H.H. the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa was escorted into the main shrine hall of Palpung Sherabling Monastic College by a traditional procession of lamas carrying incense. Once Guru Vajradhara ascended onto the throne, a mandala along with the representations of body, speech and mind, accompanied by the chanting of the liturgy, was offered to him, and traditional tea and sweet rice were offered to everyone present. The ceremony continued with a presentation of the Five Excellencies, debates on the five major treatises by the freshly appointed khenpos, and a discussion on tantra by the 2023 graduates.

Following that, Guru Vajradhara presented certificates and appointment letters to the new khenpos, acharyas, teaching assistants, and graduates, along with replacing discipline master assistants for the Monastic College and assigning responsibilities to the new graduates.

The graduation and khenpo enthronement ceremony was then auspiciously concluded with the new khenpos, acharyas, and graduates performing a long-life offering to Guru Vajradhara. At the end, everyone present offered a traditional white offering scarf to the freshly appointed khenpos and acharyas.
