On February 15, 2018, Guru Vajradhara the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa conferred the long life empowerment of Machik Drubpé Gyalmo and offered an extensive teaching and guidance on how to practice at the beginning of the new year. Thus, the hopes and aspirations of the Palpung Sherabling Sangha and the Tibetan, Himalayan and international devotees who came to receive the empowerment, were fulfilled.

In the early morning of February 16, the first day of the Tibetan new year, the monastic community performed a smoke offering puja. After that, Guru Vajradhara arrived at the temple and gave individual blessings to everyone present. This was followed by a joyful Losar feast, where everyone enjoyed celebrations including a ceremonial rice and tea offering, along with abundant traditional arrangements of food offerings.
