In light of the coronavirus outbreak, to protect the well-being and safety of everyone, Palpung Thubten Chöling Monastery remains closed to the public.

December 31, Thursday (2:00 pm) | Sür, Evening Fire Offering Ceremony
Sür (evening fire offering ceremony) is an offering to the 4 guests: the Buddhas & Bodhisattvas; Protectors; sentient beings; and those with whom we have karmic debts. It averts obstacles and sickness and is dedicated to those who are dying, beings in the Bardo, and to beings with whom we have karmic debts.

Although the monastery is closed to the public, there are many ways to share in the merit of these activities through sponsoring meals, fire offering ceremonies, or the tea served during the chanting. Be sure to include a prayer with your donation which will be read aloud to the assembly.

You may also simply mail your tax-deductible contribution to:
