SUMMARY:Ransom Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 7\, 2024 \nRansom Ceremony \nLigmincha Texas Center \n6:00 pm CST in person only \nThere will be a cleansing Ransom Ceremony at our center instead of regular practice. At that time\, we will use this opportunity to cleanse ourselves spiritually\, to be ready for the New Year. Geshe Denma Gyaltsen will give blessing water. We will think about releasing all the negative things that happened in this year and karmic traces so they will not be carried into the new Wood Dragon year. All are welcome to come and bring anyone who is interested in this beautiful experience. Before the Ransom Ceremony\, in anticipation of the new year\, we need to cleanse externally and therefore we clean our house\, office\, car\, and finish projects. Take this time to prepare generally\, for a clean start in the next year\, leaving all negativities and unfinished business in the old year.
