What would you do if you were inviting a Buddha into your home? Residents-to-be of Dzambala House have been very busy cleaning their house to ensure that their home is neat and tidy when the great Lama Tsongkhapa arrives.

On the morning of 19 April 2011, Dzambala House’s residents Jazz, Jack, Junior, Eric and Adrian, accompanied by Wan, Chia, Mitra and Girlie waited anxiously for the arrival of Lama Tsongkhapa. Finally, led by Adrian who strewed flower petals and Jazz carrying burning incense, the group invited the King of Dharma to reside in the house to bless the environment and most importantly, the residents.

Everyone helped with the setting up of the altar with pictures of His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, Yellow Dzambala and Dharma Protector Lord Setrap. Before they began their puja, Chia briefed everyone on the significance of the puja as well as the offerings. After the briefing, the five housemates then took their turn offering a khata before the puja began.

The invitation of Lama Tsongkhapa to reside in Dzambala House marks another milestone for everyone. May all be blessed by Lord Tsongkhapa wherever they are!
