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 Rinpoche 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.
Upcoming Powerful Days
Lama Tsongkhapa Day (Tibetan calendar: the 25th day of the tenth month) || Date: 3 December 2026
This day is to commemorate the parinirvana of the great Lama Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), who is one of Tibetan Buddhism’s greatest scholars and yogis. Lama Tsongkhapa’s brilliant and illuminated essence of Buddha’s teachings guides Tibetan Buddhists worldwide to this very day. He is the author of Lam Rim Chen Mo—The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment—and other profound texts.
Lama Tsongkhapa was the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, which is the tradition of Gen Rinpoche Namgyel La—and Lam Rim is the framework that Gen Rinpoche La’s teachings are based upon.
On this auspicious day, all karmic results—good and bad—are considered to be multiplied by one hundred million.
