Tomorrow the Sacred Month of Urs Sar Begins

Tomorrow the sacred month of Urs Sar begins. Traditionally, during Urs Sar the Kalmyks kept a fast: they abstained from food obtained through killing and abstained from alcohol. It is advisable to take a vow (tser). Tomorrow at eight o’clock in the morning, in the main prayer hall of the Central Khurul of Kalmykia “The Golden Abode of Buddha Shakyamuni,” the senior administrator of the khurul, Yonten Gelung, will bestow vows upon all who wish to receive them. For those who for any reason are unable to visit the khurul, an online broadcast of the taking of the vows (tser) will be organized on the official YouTube channel of the Central Khurul. May the merits, multiplied a hundred thousand times during Urs Sar, bring happiness and well-being to each of us!
