Incense Puja (Lhasang Chokuma)

A Lhasang Incense Fire Puja

A traditional (outdoor) morning practice for many householders in the Himalayas likewise often practiced by travellers when they reach the top of mountain passes. The well-known cry "ki-ki so-so cha-o lha-gyel-lo" is found in this practice.

This short arrangement of the Lhasang Chökuma (which includes a Serkyem) was verbally composed by the humble arya, Ven. Lharampa Geshe, Damchö Yonten Rinpoche in the eighth month of the year of the wooden pig (October 1995) while residing at Lam Rim Buddhist Centre in Wales.
