Offering to the Spiritual Guide Prayers Celebrating Je Tsongkhapa Day

Everyone is welcome to join us for this beautiful prayer practice in our new location. We celebrate our good fortune to have met the teachings of Buddha through the wisdom of Je Tsongkhapa’s lineage — and we make prayers for all the Holy Beings to bless our new Dharma Center, our city, and the whole world.

Offering to the Spiritual Guide is a special Guru yoga of Je Tsongkhapa in conjunction with Highest Yoga Tantra. It was compiled by the first Panchen Lama, Losang Chökyi Gyaltsän, as a preliminary practice for Vajrayana Mahamudra. The main practice is relying upon the Spiritual Guide, but it also includes all the essential practices of the stages of the path (Lamrim) and training the mind (Lojong), as well as both the generation stage and completion stage of Highest Yoga Tantra.

This puja (prayer practice) normally takes place on or near the 10th & 25th of the month.
