Siddhartha’s Intent India (SII) has declared that in 2023, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and other senior monastics will lead the Dzongsar Monlam prayer festival in Bodh Gaya, India.
Following this, SII will host the Siddhartha Festival, which was founded by the venerated Bhutanese lama, filmmaker, and author Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche.
The Dzongsar Khyentse Chokyi Lodro Institute is hosting the Dzongsar Monlam, a biennial event held at the site of the Buddha’s enlightenment, the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya.
This celebration of the life and teachings of the Buddha will take place from 18–27 October, with a two-day program of talks, chants, dance, and more from 28–29 October. This festival was first held in 2006.
