A rare and precious opportunity. From 17 June to 3 July 2026, His Eminence the Venerable Jhado Rinpoche is granting the sacred Hayagriva Initiation at Sera Jey Monastic Institute to an assembly of approximately 1,700 monks.
Throughout these days of teaching, empowerment, and prayer, the entire assembly must be sustained with tea, bread, and clean drinking water. By sponsoring these offerings, you create a direct karmic connection to the initiation and accumulate the immense merit of making offerings to the ordained Sangha during a sacred ceremony.
