SUMMARY:Powa Prayers
DESCRIPTION:Through practicing transference of consciousness\, known as powa\, with faith\, compassion\, and concentration we can transfer the consciousness of those recently deceased to a higher rebirth or to the Pure Land of a Buddha. The Powa Ceremony can be done either by a group of practitioners or individually on behalf of one or more deceased persons\, or countless deceased beings. By engaging in this practice we also create a great collection of virtue\, which will also lead us into the pathway to a Buddha’s Pure Land. \nAll chanted prayers are free.

SUMMARY:Offering to the Spiritual Guide Prayers
DESCRIPTION:  \nEveryone is welcome to join us for this beautiful prayer practice. \nOffering 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. \nThis puja (prayer practice) normally takes place on or near the 10th & 25th of the month. \n  \nAll chanted prayers are free.

SUMMARY:Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day: Offering to the Spiritual Guide Prayers
DESCRIPTION:   \n  \nEveryone is welcome to join us for this beautiful prayer practice\, celebrating Buddha’s first turning of the Wheel of Dharma (Dharmachakra Day) and the birthday of our beloved Spiritual Guide\, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. \n\nOffering 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. \nWe have prayer booklets in English for use during the practice. It is traditional to bring a small offering of food or drink for this practice.
