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  \nPlease join us for torma making and preparations at 8:30 am. \n  \nAugust 20\, Tuesday (10:00 am) | Sherab Nyingpo\, a practice based on the Heart Sutra \nSherab Nyingpo is an obstacle averting practice that dispels unfavorable circumstances and prompts good conditions.

SUMMARY:08/04/2019 - Commemoration of Chökor Duchen - August 4\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Please join the KTC sangha in our chanting of prayers to commemorate Chökor Duchen\, the day that Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha first turned the Wheel of Dharma\, teaching the Four Noble Truths. \nAfter the Buddha realized awakening beneath the Bodhi tree\, he remained in contemplation. At first he was reluctant to teach\, fearing that people would not understand his message. Finally\, encouraged by Indra and Brahma\, he shared his discovery of the truth in his first teaching. This auspicious day is a “multiplying day” on which karmic results are said to be multiplied by one hundred million\, so we make this a joyful opportunity to practice extra virtue. Please join us for the chanting and/or sponsoring the chanting. \n6:30am | Thousandfold Lamp Offering (Tong Chö) \n\nA traditional Tong Chö of 1\,000 butter lamps\, 1\,000 bowls of saffron water and 300 bowls filled with rice\, incense and flowers is offered weekly\, accompanied by chanting of the Chenrezig practice.\n\n10:00am | Kalu Rinpoche’s Practice of Aspiration Prayers (Monlam Choga)\, followed by the Short Practice of the Peaceful & Wrathful Deities (Shitro) \n\nChanting of the Monlam Choga\, a practice of offering and aspiration prayers compiled by Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche. This is followed by the short liturgy of Shitro (Peaceful and Wrathful Deities)\, a profound practice from the cycle of teachings and meditations of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. We dedicate this practice to the deceased in order to purify negativities\, avert obstacles in the bardo\, and establish a connection with the deities that will ripen in future lives.\n\nFor those who wish to sponsor the chanting\, please 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: \nKagyu Thubten Chöling\nAttn: Office\n245 Sheafe Road\, Wappingers Falls\, NY 12590 \nPlease make checks payable to Kagyu Thubten Choling or KTC.
