SUMMARY:Chanting Practices to Dispel Obstacles and Bring About Auspicious Conditions
DESCRIPTION:The resident sangha of PTC will be participating in a variety of chanting events to dispel obstacles and bring about auspicious conditions.  The dates are listed below. \n  \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION \nThe Maitreya Shrine Room will be open to the public during our practice of Drolma Yuldok\, Thursday through Sunday June 17 – 20. Drolma Yuldok is a long practice of Green Tara chanted twice a year to dispel obstacles for all beings and invite auspicious conditions\, health\, and good fortune. \nIf you feel unwell and/or have a fever\, please do not visit the monastery. Tea will be served only to the monks and nuns. Guests are invited to bring their own thermoses of water or tea from home. All other areas of the Maitreya Center as well as all other buildings remain closed until further notice\, including dining rooms; and no overnight accommodations are available. Guests are welcome to bring lunch to eat outdoors on the grounds\, or to enjoy our many local restaurants. While outdoors\, please be mindful of ticks\, and we strongly advise checking your body and clothing for ticks after your visit. All visitors are required to wear a mask indoors. Children 12 years old and younger must be supervised. No pets please. \nTo learn more about how to join us in light of our opening and the limited re-opening of the Maitreya Center\, click here \n  \nJune 12\, 2021 – Saturday | Gya Shi\, “The Practice of the Four Hundred Offerings”\nGya Shi is a practice involving four hundred offerings which is done as a means to purify obstacles created by the 4 maras (mental afflictions; attachment to happiness; clinging to the 5 skandhas; death).  The four hundred offerings are described in the practice text below: \n\nNamo!\nThe vast offerings of Gya Shi are dedicated to the accumulation of merit and wisdom.\nThrough the blessings of offering 100 tsa-tsa\, may all beings engage in the 10 virtues and give up the 10 non-virtues.\nThrough the merit of offering 100 butterlamps\, may all beings clear away the darkness of ignorance so that the 5 wisdoms may be realized.\nThrough the merit of offering 100 tormas\, may all beings be free from famine.\nThrough the merit of offering 100 chambu (effigies)\, may all beings purify all karmic debt which makes harmful hindrances.\nThough the blessing of reciting the profound sutras\, may all beings always turn the wheel of dharma. Through the roots of virtue of offering 400\, may myself and all patrons and their loved ones repay all karmic debts. May we perfect the two accumulations and attain the precious level of unsurpassable enlightenment.\n\n\nJune 13\, 2021 – Sunday | Sherab Nyingpo\, a practice based on the Heart Sutra \n \nSherab Nyingpo is an obstacle averting practice that dispels unfavorable circumstances and prompts good conditions. The Heart Sutra is recited repeatedly as a means to purify obstacles created by the 4 maras (mental afflictions; attachment to happiness; clinging to the 5 skandhas; death). The practice invokes the blessings of Prajnaparamita\, the Mother of all Buddhas. \n  \nJune 17\,18\,19 2021 – Thursday – Saturday | Drolma Yuldok\, a practice based on the 21 Taras \n \nThis is a three-day practice to remove obstacles and bring auspicious conditions. \nYou may view this practice remotely. For information on how to join us via ZOOM\, please click here. \nJune 19\, 2021 Saturday (following Drolma Yuldok chanting) | Sür\, Evening Fire Offering Ceremony\nSür (evening fire offering ceremony) is an offering to the 4 guests: the Buddhas & Bodhisattvas; Protectors; sentient beings; and those with whom we have karmic debts. It averts obstacles and sickness and is dedicated to those who are dying\, beings in the Bardo\, and to beings with whom we have karmic debts. \nJune 20\, 2021 Monday | Sang\, Morning Fire Offering Ceremony\nSang is a special morning purification fire ceremony. It is an offering to all worldly gods and the 4 guests: Buddhas & Bodhisattvas; Protectors; sentient beings; and those with whom we have karmic debts. This practice pacifies war\, encourages peace and averts sickness. It also creates merit and concludes the year-end chanting by purifying any remaining obstacles. \nFor those who wish to sponsor the chanting\, donations can be made towards meals\, fire offering ceremonies\, or the tea served during the chanting. General contributions towards these special practices are also welcome. Be sure to include a prayer with your donation which will be read aloud to the assembly. \nYou may make your donations on-line or simply mail your tax-deductible contribution to: \nPalpung Thubten Chöling\nAttn: Office\n245 Sheafe Road\, Wappingers Falls\, NY 12590. \nPlease make checks payable to Palpung Thubten Choling or PTC.
