  • Medicine Buddha Puja
  • Guru Puja (in English and Tibetan)

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 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.

From Series: "Tara Puja"

Arya Tara is a manifestation of the fearless compassionate action of the buddha. She is known as the mother of all the buddhas, as she represents perfect, ultimate wisdom. This ceremony is particularly helpful in removing obstacles, for help in emergencies, resolving conflicts and energising stagnation.
