Protector Chamber (Gonkhang)

Each year, six Geshes are selected for one-year tenure, during which they diligently embrace the sacred duty of conducting daily pujas in the protector’s chamber. From the farthest reaches of the globe, devout supplicants send forth their reverent requests, seeking solace and divine intervention. These devoted Geshes, in turn, respond to these pleas with unwavering dedication.

They perform a diverse array of pujas. These rituals reverberate through the camber, resonating throughout the day.

The list of revered ritual masters entrusted with this sacred responsibility is as follow: Geshe Yeshe Gyatso, Geshe Lobsang Palden, Geshe Thupten Namdag, Geshe Lobsang Namgyal. Geshe Samten, and Geshe Yeshe Chophel.
