One has to hold a plate with cooked meat at the door, face the street and utter the following words: ‘Today we are all celebrating Zul In honor of Tsongkapa Let the scent from this hot meal reach our gods Let our gods bless us!’ Then the utterer should turn around and say as follows: ‘Oh, gods today we are all celebrating our birthdays Let all the bad go away and the good come’. The first prayer is addressed to all gods, whereas the second is dedicated to one’s clan and personal deities.
