Audio of Buddhist praying ceremony

Attending a Tibetan Buddhist puja ceremony in Kathmandu is a deeply spiritual and enriching experience. Held in sacred monasteries adorned with vibrant prayer flags and intricate murals, the puja (ritual prayer) is a meditative practice where monks chant ancient scriptures in rhythmic, melodic tones. The air is filled with the soothing sound of cymbals, drums, and the deep hum of prayer wheels, creating a profound atmosphere of peace and devotion. The prayers, often dedicated to peace, well-being, and the removal of obstacles, are accompanied by offerings of butter lamps, incense, and flowers. Being present in this sacred space allows one to feel a strong sense of interconnectedness and serenity, immersing in the spiritual heart of Tibetan Buddhist culture in Kathmandu.
