REGULAR PUJAS

Cittamani Tara Puja
Medicine Buddha Puja
Guru Puja (in English and Tibetan)
Protector Prayers
Shakyamuni Buddha Puja

We celebrate the major auspicious days on the Buddhist calendar, including Buddha’s Birthday, Day of Miracles, and Descent from Tushita. We also regularly recite the Diamond Cutter Sutra, Sanghata Sutra, and the Sutra of Golden Light. And this year we have added Protector Prayers to the schedule.

If you cannot make it to the puja but would still like to be involved, you can sponsor a puja by donating securely online. You can email in your dedications to be read on the night. You can dedicate for the well-being of friends and family, for the sick and vulnerable, for healing the planet, and for the success of your studies, of a project, and your Dharma aspirations.

From Tibetan to English to Understanding 1

From Series: "From Tibetan to English to Understanding"

As English speakers, we chant our prayers in Tibetan and rely on translations. Even if we understand the general meaning, important subtleties are lost. The Tibetan language has an ability to pour a lot of meaning into a single word. Once we learn the key words and phrases, we will be able to chant them in Tibetan and understand their meaning.

Miffi Maxmillion - May 7, 2020

Medicine Buddha Puja (extended)

From Series: "Medicine Buddha Pujas"

If you cannot make it to puja in person, you can offer the Medicine Buddha puja at home! It involves offerings and prayers to each of the seven Medicine Buddhas. Merely hearing or reciting their names can purify aeons of negative karma. This puja is especially effective to remove the root causes of problems, emotional turmoil, illness and obstacles. It is also very auspicious for the success of projects. There is a short mantra recitation at the end with a blessing for one's medicines.

The two pujas I attended lead by Miffi were just fantastic…such an affirming and grounding experience of people connecting together and reaching out with compassion to the wider world. I look forward to further contact and involvement.
