The monastery is now open. All visitors are required to wear masks. Please note that accommodations remain closed to the public.

The resident sangha of PTC will be chanting Sherab Nyingpo, a practice based on the Heart Sutra. Sherab Nyingpo is an obstacle-averting practice that dispels unfavorable circumstances and promotes good conditions. The Heart Sutra is recited repeatedly as a means to purify obstacles created by the four maras (mental afflictions, attachment to happiness, clinging to the five skandhas, death). The practice invokes the blessings of Prajnaparamita, the Mother of all Buddhas.
