He then proceeded to the throne, wherepon the main ceremony of the Losar commenced with a supplication to the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma and Sangha). As per tradition, tea and dre-si was offered to all in attendance. At the end of the program, at the suggestion of His Holiness, participants sang one of the Milarepa’s famous compositions to a melody composed by His Holiness himself. His Holiness closed the program by giving a blessing to all the participants of the Losar, which was followed by a lunch offered by the Tsruphu Labrang.
