A Sacred Journey of Devotion and Renewal
The Zhuanshan Festival, celebrated in the Year of the Sheep, is one of the most spiritual and revered traditions in Tibetan culture. Deeply rooted in faith and devotion, the festival involves pilgrims circling sacred mountains as a form of prayer and spiritual purification. For many, the Zhuanshan Festival represents a journey of inner transformation, gratitude, and connection to nature.
At Zen Blessing, we are honored to be a part of this profound cultural celebration, not only as admirers but also as active participants supporting local traditions and communities.
The Rituals of Zhuanshan
The Zhuanshan Festival, held in the Year of the Sheep, is believed to hold special significance in Tibetan Buddhism. According to tradition, circling sacred mountains like Meili Snow Mountain during this time is particularly auspicious, multiplying the merit of each prayer and step taken.
Pilgrims, often in colorful traditional Tibetan attire, embark on the sacred kora (circumambulation), carrying prayer flags, spinning prayer wheels, and chanting mantras as they walk. The ritual symbolizes purification of sins, accumulation of blessings, and deep spiritual devotion. Along the way, participants leave offerings such as juniper incense and butter lamps at shrines and prayer sites, creating a collective energy of reverence and positivity.
