Dorkyga
Fire Puja - page 1
On December 19, 1999, the monks from
Drepung Gomang monastery performed the Dorkgya fire Puja at the
Tibetan Cultural center. The monks created tormas for the
ceremony on Thursday, December 16 and began all-day chanting
on December 17. Their chanting ended on Sunday with the
offerings made in a fire ceremony. Below are some
pictures of the event. The tormas, or offerings to a deity, are
made of barley, three white products (milk, yogurt, and butter),
and three sweet products (honey, sugar, and brown sugar).
