The Tibetan Festival, Universal Prayer Day or Dzam Ling Chi Sang is a Tibetan Buddhist festival celebrated on the 15th day of the fifth month in Tibetan Calendar. It is a time for spiritual cleansing. On the Universal Prayer Day, Tibetan people go to the tops of local mountains to burn incense and hang prayer flags.
We come together to honor the rich spiritual heritage of Tibet and commemorate Tibetan Universal Prayer Day. This special occasion serves as a reminder of the profound power of prayer and its ability to bring harmony, peace, and compassion into our lives and the world around us.
Tibetan Universal Prayer Day is an annual observance dedicated to promoting unity, love, and understanding among all beings. It is a day when people from diverse backgrounds and faiths join hands in a collective prayer for the well-being of humanity, the planet, and all sentient beings.
The essence of Tibetan Universal Prayer Day lies in the belief that prayers, when offered with pure intentions, can transcend boundaries and touch the hearts of people worldwide. It is a day to express gratitude for the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and its emphasis on compassion, wisdom, and interconnectedness.
On this auspicious day, individuals and communities engage in various prayerful activities. Temples, monasteries, and spiritual centers become filled with the soothing sounds of chants and mantras. Prayer flags flutter in the breeze, carrying prayers and blessings to the four corners of the earth. Meditative practices, such as mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation, are undertaken to cultivate inner peace and extend goodwill to all beings.
