The Vajrakilaya Gutor is a ritual for pacifying negativities and eliminating obstacles of the current year for a smooth new year ahead.
The ritual will be performed according to the Terma text of Terton Ratna Lingpa. During the ritual, there will be prayer sessions with tsok offerings. The Lamas will make a large Torma (in the form of Vajrakilaya) together with 46 retinue Tormas representing various sacred hand emblems for this particular event.
At the end of the 3 days ritual, the Tormas
will be burnt, symbolizing the purification of our obstacles
and negativities.
