June 30 – July 2, Friday – Sunday | Drolma Yuldok, a practice based on the 21 Taras

This three-day practice based on the 21 Taras, known as Drolma Yuldok, is chanted to remove obstacles and bring about auspicious conditions.  The central content of the chanting is the 21 Praises of Tara repeated with various offerings and prayers.

Chanting Schedule:
Friday & Saturday | 9:00 am & 2:00 pm 
Sunday | 9:00 am

July 2, Sunday (following Drolma Yuldok chanting) | Sür, Evening Fire Offering Ceremony
Sür (an evening fire offering ceremony) is an offering to the four guests: the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Protector deities, sentient beings, and those with whom we have karmic debts. It averts obstacles and sickness and is dedicated to those who are dying, to beings in the Bardo, and to beings with whom we have karmic debts.
