Each year from the 22nd-29th lunar days of the 8th Tibetan month, Menri Monastery in India holds an intensive retreat for the fierce yidam Walchen Gekhö. Specifically, they perform the practice from the text compiled by the Second Buddha Nyammé Sherap Gyaltsen Rinpoche, Gekhö Sangwa Drakchen, The Greatly Fierce, Secret Gekhö. In 2026, these lunar dates correspond with October 3rd-8th on the Western calendar.
