The Dorji Lopen of the Central Monastic Body is presiding over the National Kurim in Gelephu for the successful completion of the Gelephu Mindfulness City project. The rituals, which began today, are being conducted to remove obstacles and to invite auspicious conditions for the smooth, timely, and harmonious implementation of the project.
According to the Central Monastic Body, the National Kurim will be performed throughout the entire duration of the Gelephu Mindfulness City project to create auspicious conditions and ensure its smooth and timely implementation.
The first round of the National Kurim began today and will continue for five days. The rituals started with the Duekhor Jinsed ceremony at Phulhari, the site where the Gelephu Dzong will be constructed as part of the GMC project.
“Along with the Dorji Lopen, Lam Netens of 20 districts and over seven hundred monks from various Dratshangs and Rabdeys are here to perform the rituals for the success of the GMC project and the Shambhala Dzong,” said Sangay Dorji, Laytshog Lopen of the Central Monastic Body.
In addition to the ongoing Kurim, the Central Monastic Body will also carry out voluntary works alongside the rituals.
“The Kurim will continue for the next three days, followed by additional prayers dedicated to Choechong Yeshey Gonpo. Likewise, we also have plans to engage everyone who came for this ritual to involve them in voluntary work for the project,” added Sangay Dorji, Laytshog Lopen of the Central Monastic Body.
For now, upon the command of His Majesty The King, the Central Monastic Body is carrying out three major projects in GMC. These include constructing the Jarong Khashor Stupa, the Gyenyen Nyekhang at Phulhari, and the Gelephu Dzong.
