May all attain complete and perfect awakening

མངོན་པར་རྫོགས་ཏེ་འཚང་རྒྱ་ཤོག༔

Today is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. On this day, the northern pole is at its farthest distance from the sun; consequently, today is the shortest day. In the Vajrayana, the solstice is an extremely important day to perform extensive aspiration and dedication prayers. Today, we encourage you to listen to Tulku Migmar Tsering recite the famous Dzogchen aspiration, the Kunzang Mönlam.
