Powerful Days
On these powerful days, karmic results are considered to be increased many millions of times. They provide good opportunities for us to accumulate merit, purify negativities and pray for wellness and success.
Gen Namgyel-la has advised some practices for the students and some practices that can be sponsored by the students, so that there is a range of advice for different minds. The students themselves need to decide what is appropriate and what they rejoice in.
