There will be two chanting sessions each day starting at 8:30 am & 1:30 pm

January 1, Wednesday (10:00 am) | Sang, Morning Fire Offering Ceremony
Sang 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.

Study Group on the Ornament of Precious Liberation

This class will be facilitated by Lamas Depa and Lhadrun. Our primary source, Ornament of Precious Liberation, by the great master of the Kagyu lineage, Lord Gampopa, is considered a spiritual classic of Tibetan Buddhism. HH 17th Karmapa shares in his foreword to the book, that “this text has the power of a direct transmission from master to student” and that Gampopa himself promised that studying this text would be the same as receiving the teachings directly from him.
In order to develop our understanding of this profound work, we will also be referring to Path to Buddhahood, a very accessible and illuminating commentary by Ringu Tulku.
The books used will be:
Ornament of Precious Liberation, translator Ken Holmes, Wisdom Publications
Path to Buddhahood, by Ringu Tulku, Shambala
The material will be screen-shared each class, so it is not necessary to buy the books. The class is open to all levels of experience, and anyone is welcome to join at any time without attending previous sessions. There is no charge for participating.

These classes are being offered in person and on Zoom. If you would like to participate remotely, please use our online event registration form.
Please do not visit the monastery if you feel unwell and/or have a fever.
We 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.

First and third Thursday of each month | Medicine Buddha Practice and The Verses that Saved Sakya from Sickness

Please 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.

Second, fourth and fifth Thursday of each month | Chenrezig Practice

Please 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.”

The liturgies are being screen shared and are translated as well as written phonetically. You can chant along, or silently read the translation.
These sessions are free of charge.
