2026/07/22 - Granting Novice and Bhikshu Ordinations

As is the annual tradition before the summer retreat, it is customary to confer the ordination of Novice vow to new monks and the ordination of Bhikshus to senior Monks. This morning, in the main temple of the Bokar Ngendon Chokor Ling, before the radiant image of the Lord Buddha, extensive offerings were laid out. In the presence of venerable and learned monastic elders, the Great spiritual guide, Kyabje Khenchen Rinpoche, served as the combined abbot and preceptor, while a complete assembly of faithful monks presided. There were over one hundred vow-recipients monks from Bokar Monastery, Bokar Shedra, Bokar Thobsam Norling Garden of Wisdom, and the Phodang Karma Thupten Tashi Chokor Ling in Sikkim. Alongside this, His Eminence provided profound and extensive instructions on the importance of cherishing the foundation of the teachings, the precious discipline of individual liberation, as one would one's own eyes. This grand act elevated the prestige of the precious teachings of the Vinaya.
