Namcho Mahakala Puja from 29/10 to 31/10 in conjunction with Lha
Bab Duchen, which falls on 29/10.Lha Bab Duchen is one of the 4
great festivals of Lord Buddha, Sakyamuni. On this day, Buddha
Sakyamuni descent from heaven. Buddha's mother was reborn in
Indra's Heaven. In order to repay her kindness, to liberate her and
to benefit the Gods, Buddha spent 3 months teaching in the realm of
God. On this day, all positive and negative actions are multiplied

Mahakala, a protector of the Buddhist teachings, is also known as
the chief dharmapala. Dharmapalas are basically Buddhas who
undertake the role of removing obstacles on the path of
practitioners.The objective of Mahakala is to assist practitioners
in removing anything that impedes their practice, as well as to
encourage exertion and devotion and at the same time purify
obscurations and wrongdoings. Blessings will be bestowed and
obstacles will be removed if one prays earnestly to Mahakala.
So long as one attends the prayer sessions and continually makes
prayers and offerings to Mahakala, the protections of Mahakala and
His retinue will not depart from oneself until perfect awakening is
experienced. Mahakala prayers also foster peacefulness in a
country, harmony at home and better career prospects.
