DHARMA SERVICE
Ceremonies & Gatherings
SINI hosts and organizes sacred ceremonies that unite Buddhist communities across traditions and borders. From inter-school gatherings bringing together Theravada and Mahayana monastics in Sarnath, to all-schools peace ceremonies in Bodhgaya joining over 1,200 monks and nuns, and the revitalization of ancient Sanskrit chanting; these gatherings preserve living traditions and spread blessings throughout the world.
Sarnath Dharmachakra Program
Every year since 2016, we host the ever-growing Sarnath Dharmachakra program with the Light of Buddha Dharma Foundation annually in October in Sarnath, welcoming monks from Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal. This program unites monastics from Theravada and Tibetan traditions and fosters multicultural and interdisciplinary exchanges between practitioners.
Tibet Peace Ceremony
In 2014, Rinpoche initiated this five-day Tibet Peace Ceremony, which takes place annually in Bodhgaya following the Bodhgaya World Peace Ceremony. This rimed, all-schools ceremony unites over 1200 monks and nuns from the Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, Gelug, and Jonang schools of Tibet, bringing together the river of blessings from all lineages as participants share prayers and practice for the benefit of the world.
Manjushri Namasangiti Sanskrit Chanting Ceremony
The International Manjushri Namasangiti Sanskrit Chanting Ceremony was established in 2015 by Tarthang Tulku to support the revitalization of this most sacred Sanskrit Buddhist text. This special ceremony takes place annually in February in Bodh Gaya, coinciding with the Nyingma Monlam World Peace Ceremony, and brings together approximately 60 pandits from Varanasi and Gaya, as well as Tibetan practitioners, to restore this sacred text and spread its sublime blessings throughout India and the world.
