On November 2, 2025, Master Zhang Bu Sheng led hundred OOSS practitioners to Bhutan to participate in the Global Peace Prayer Festival. The event will span several days of prayers, rituals, and sacred practices.

From November 4 to 16, Bhutan will host the Global Peace Prayer Festival, with Rinpoches and disciples from around the world gathering to pray for global peace and harmony.
The OOSS team departed from Singapore Changi Airport and arrived at Paro Airport at 3:10 PM, marking the start of their auspicious spiritual journey.

Upon arrival, the team was warmly welcomed to the sacred temple of Laytshog Lopen Rinpoche, one of the Five Great Lopens of the Bhutan Central Monastic Body. There, they received the Twenty-One Taras Empowerment, personally led by Rinpoche. The empowerment, comprising body, speech, and mind, symbolizes the purification of all obstacles, bringing harmony and stability to the practitioner’s body, speech, and mind.

The Twenty-One Taras, emanated from the tears of compassion of Avalokiteshvara, are powerful protectors capable of rescuing beings from sixteen great dangers and calamities. Swift in dispelling poisons and disasters, they increase auspiciousness, longevity, and blessings in favorable times, while removing obstacles in moments of adversity. The Tara lineage is pure and profound, regarded as one of the most potent and effective practices for protection and spiritual empowerment.

The team shared that receiving this rare empowerment marks an auspicious beginning to the Global Peace Prayer Festival, infusing their journey with profound blessings. As the festival enters its final countdown, the OOSS team will continue to engage in prayers, ceremonies, and cultural exchanges throughout Bhutan, uniting their voices for global peace and the well-being of all beings.
