SUMMARY:Medicine Buddha Puja
DESCRIPTION:About Medicine Buddha Puja \n\nIn Person Only\n\nPujas are rituals in which consecrated offerings – such as food\, water\, light and incense – are made to an enlightened being for the sake of creating conditions for progress on the spiritual path\, as well as removing obstacles. These offerings are made alongside prayer and chanting. \nThe seven Medicine Buddhas\, attainers of bliss\, strongly prayed for the temporal and ultimate happiness of yourself and all sentient beings. They vowed that their prayers would be actualized during these degenerate times when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are in decline. As the buddhas’ holy speech is irrevocable\, you can wholly trust in their power to quickly grant blessings to help all sentient beings in these degenerate times\,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche instructs  “If you pray to Guru Medicine Buddha\, you will quickly accomplish all that you wish. Just hearing the holy name of Guru Medicine Buddha and the sound of his mantra closes the door to rebirth in the suffering lower realms. It is written in the scriptures that you should not have a two-pointed mind (doubt) with regard to these benefits”. \nHow can I join?\nJust turn up!

SUMMARY:Chittamani Tara Puja
DESCRIPTION:Chittamani (Mind Jewel) Tara\, is the Highest Yoga Tantra form of Tara\, the female Buddha. \nThe benefits of Tara practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: \nTara is quick to grant success in obtaining the ultimate happiness of enlightenment. You receive much good merit\, or cause of happiness; it prevents a suffering rebirth in your next life; you receive initiation from millions of buddhas; and you achieve enlightenment. Besides these\, however\, Tara practice has many other benefits. Reciting the Twenty-one Taras’ prayer with devotion\, at dawn or dusk—or remembering Tara\, singing praises and reciting mantras at any time of the day or night—protects you from fear and dangers\, and fulfill all your wishes. If you pray to Tara\, Tara is particularly quick to grant help. \nThis practice is restricted to practitioners who hold a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment \nPlease register using the link below before attending this event. \nAs part of our commitment to care for your spiritual wellbeing\, and that of our teachers and the center as a whole\, we kindly ask everyone who wishes to engage in this practice answer a few short questions about their practice background. Please click the button below to enquire about how to join for this practice. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Medicine Buddha Puja
DESCRIPTION:About Medicine Buddha Puja \n\nIn Person Only\n\nPujas are rituals in which consecrated offerings – such as food\, water\, light and incense – are made to an enlightened being for the sake of creating conditions for progress on the spiritual path\, as well as removing obstacles. These offerings are made alongside prayer and chanting. \nThe seven Medicine Buddhas\, attainers of bliss\, strongly prayed for the temporal and ultimate happiness of yourself and all sentient beings. They vowed that their prayers would be actualized during these degenerate times when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are in decline. As the buddhas’ holy speech is irrevocable\, you can wholly trust in their power to quickly grant blessings to help all sentient beings in these degenerate times\,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche instructs  “If you pray to Guru Medicine Buddha\, you will quickly accomplish all that you wish. Just hearing the holy name of Guru Medicine Buddha and the sound of his mantra closes the door to rebirth in the suffering lower realms. It is written in the scriptures that you should not have a two-pointed mind (doubt) with regard to these benefits”. \nHow can I join?\nJust turn up!

SUMMARY:Chittamani Tara Puja
DESCRIPTION:Chittamani (Mind Jewel) Tara\, is the Highest Yoga Tantra form of Tara\, the female Buddha. \nThe benefits of Tara practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: \nTara is quick to grant success in obtaining the ultimate happiness of enlightenment. You receive much good merit\, or cause of happiness; it prevents a suffering rebirth in your next life; you receive initiation from millions of buddhas; and you achieve enlightenment. Besides these\, however\, Tara practice has many other benefits. Reciting the Twenty-one Taras’ prayer with devotion\, at dawn or dusk—or remembering Tara\, singing praises and reciting mantras at any time of the day or night—protects you from fear and dangers\, and fulfill all your wishes. If you pray to Tara\, Tara is particularly quick to grant help. \nThis practice is restricted to practitioners who hold a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment \nPlease register using the link below before attending this event. \nAs part of our commitment to care for your spiritual wellbeing\, and that of our teachers and the center as a whole\, we kindly ask everyone who wishes to engage in this practice answer a few short questions about their practice background.

SUMMARY:Medicine Buddha Puja
DESCRIPTION:About Medicine Buddha Puja \n\nIn Person Only\n\nPujas are rituals in which consecrated offerings – such as food\, water\, light and incense – are made to an enlightened being for the sake of creating conditions for progress on the spiritual path\, as well as removing obstacles. These offerings are made alongside prayer and chanting. \nThe seven Medicine Buddhas\, attainers of bliss\, strongly prayed for the temporal and ultimate happiness of yourself and all sentient beings. They vowed that their prayers would be actualized during these degenerate times when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are in decline. As the buddhas’ holy speech is irrevocable\, you can wholly trust in their power to quickly grant blessings to help all sentient beings in these degenerate times\,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche instructs  “If you pray to Guru Medicine Buddha\, you will quickly accomplish all that you wish. Just hearing the holy name of Guru Medicine Buddha and the sound of his mantra closes the door to rebirth in the suffering lower realms. It is written in the scriptures that you should not have a two-pointed mind (doubt) with regard to these benefits”. \nHow can I join?\nJust turn up!
