Held after Tibetan New Year, all the nuns will recite a total of 100,000 of the 21 Praises to Tara in a week-long, whole-day series of Tara Pujas. These shall be performed for World Peace and Harmony; and for the benefit of all sponsors, for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
This is the key-stay practice of all the nuns daily.
