Buddha’s Joyful Day is observed by making offerings of necessities to monastics\, reciting sūtras and performing acts of generosity. The merit from these deeds is dedicated to all beings\, especially to relieve the suffering of the deceased. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is said that\, “no matter how long ago your deceased dear ones or relatives have passed away\, it is still very vital to make prayers and offerings for them to increase their merit.” \nYou may donate any amount and provide us with the names for dedication (both living and deceased).  To make these dedications\, download the Amitabha Sadhana Dedication Form in Chinese and English. \nTo make general donations to Buddha Joyful day\, please click here. \n\n\n\n6:00 am | Lighting of 500 butter lamps with the chanting of Chenrezig Sadhana\n\n9:00 am | Chanting of Long Amitabha Sadhana with Tsok\, Jangchok Sadhana\, and Sür (special fire offering ceremony)

SUMMARY:11/10-24/2020 - Chanting Practices to Dispel Obstacles and Bring About Auspicious Conditions
DESCRIPTION:November 10 – 24\, 2020\nIn light of the coronavirus outbreak\, to protect the well-being and safety of everyone\, Palpung Thubten Chöling Monastery remains closed to the public.\n \nThe 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. \nNov 10\, Tuesday | 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\nNov 11\, Wednesday | 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. \nNov 21 – 23\, Saturday – Monday | 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 on Zoom. If you would like to participate please email Lama Lhadrun. \nNov 23\, Monday (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. \nNov 24\, Tuesday | 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.

SUMMARY:Study Group on The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva
DESCRIPTION:In light of concerns about the coronavirus outbreak\, to protect the well-being and safety of everyone\, Palpung Thubten Chöling Monastery is temporarily suspending public events and attendance by visitors. \n  \nIf you would like to participate\, please use our online event registration form.\n \n  \nLed by Lamas Depa and Lhadrun\, we will explore in depth The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva; a classic text in the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism that remains vividly applicable to life in the 21st-century West. It was written by Gyalse Ngulchu Togme Zangpo\, a humble 14th-century monk\, as a reminder to himself of his aspirations for traveling the path of a bodhisattva and using everything that happened to him as a basis for awakening. How can a 14th-century Tibetan text be relevant to the very different lives we lead now? Because we still face the same basic human situations Togme Zangpo did in his day\, and have the same emotional reactions that keep us cycling in samsara. Thus\, Togme Zangpo’s advice remains as relevant today as when it was first composed. \n  \nWe will be using two main books – Traveling the Path of Compassion by Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje and The Heart of Compassion by Dilgo Khyentse – as well as a supplementary book – Reflections on Silver River by Ken McLeod. They are recommended but not required for participation. \n  \nNewcomers are welcome any Tuesday. There are no prerequisites and no attendance requirement.

SUMMARY:Study Group on The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva
DESCRIPTION:In light of concerns about the coronavirus outbreak\, to protect the well-being and safety of everyone\, Palpung Thubten Chöling Monastery is temporarily suspending public events and attendance by visitors. \n  \nIf you would like to participate\, please use our online event registration form.\n \n  \nLed by Lamas Depa and Lhadrun\, we will explore in depth The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva; a classic text in the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism that remains vividly applicable to life in the 21st-century West. It was written by Gyalse Ngulchu Togme Zangpo\, a humble 14th-century monk\, as a reminder to himself of his aspirations for traveling the path of a bodhisattva and using everything that happened to him as a basis for awakening. How can a 14th-century Tibetan text be relevant to the very different lives we lead now? Because we still face the same basic human situations Togme Zangpo did in his day\, and have the same emotional reactions that keep us cycling in samsara. Thus\, Togme Zangpo’s advice remains as relevant today as when it was first composed. \n  \nWe will be using two main books – Traveling the Path of Compassion by Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje and The Heart of Compassion by Dilgo Khyentse – as well as a supplementary book – Reflections on Silver River by Ken McLeod. They are recommended but not required for participation. \n  \nNewcomers are welcome any Tuesday. There are no prerequisites and no attendance requirement.
