- **Event Name**: Chay Drol Healing Ritual for the Removal of Obstacles
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Chay Drol, literally translated as "to make free of obstacles",
helps to remove the inner and outer obstacles that prevent us from achieving Enlightenment.
This is one of the most anticipated events the Tibetan Monks of Gaden Shartse do and always one of the most fun. The procedure begins with the Lama going into deep meditation and generating himself in the form of a deity. He then places colored strings and pieces of cloth on various parts of the participant's body.
Through the ceremony, the strings and pieces of cloth will be transformed ritually to physically represent the obstacles of the participant.
Finally, the Lama will use his "Wisdom Weapons" (vajra, peacock wand", etc) to cut the "inner and outer obstacles" from the participant, thereby freeing them and opening the door to liberation. A colorful and participatory ceremony.
All are welcome!
