SUMMARY:Thursday evenings - Alternating Practices: Medicine Buddha and Chenrezig
DESCRIPTION:7:30 pm – 8:30 pm  \nThese chanting sessions are being offered in person and on Zoom. If you would like to participate remotely\, please use our online event registration form. \n  \nFirst and third Thursday of each month | Medicine Buddha Practice and The Verses that Saved Sakya from Sickness  \n \nPlease join us as we chant this essential practice which can increase our healing powers so that we can help those in our lives who are struggling with illness and obstacles and also remove our own physical and mental suffering. An abbreviated version of the Chenrezig practice is inserted in the prayer which follows\, known as the Verses that Saved Sakya from Sickness. \n  \nSecond\, fourth and fifth Thursday of each month | Chenrezig Practice \n \nPlease join us as we chant and meditate in order to realize our inborn great compassion.  Guru Vajradhara Tai Situ Rinpoche has said that\, “Chenrezig is the embodiment of compassion\, Bodhicitta. We reach Buddhahood intentionally\, and the intention is Bodhicitta. That is what Chenrezig represents. The Chenrezig Sadhana is the most sacred and profound sadhana. By practicing it with awareness\, you can attain Chenrezig’s enlightened body\, speech\, and mind.” \n  \nThe liturgies are being screen shared and are translated as well as written phonetically. You can chant along\, or silently read the translation. \nThese sessions are free of charge. \n  \nPlease do not visit the monastery if you feel unwell and/or have a fever. \nWe urge all program participants to take precautions against the ongoing risk of COVID through protection such as having up-to-date vaccinations\, wearing a good-quality mask indoors\, washing hands and maintaining physical distance. \nMasks and hand sanitizer will be available at all entryways. \nMany thanks to all of you for your support in keeping this event as safe as possible! \n
