SUMMARY:Heart Jewel Prayers w/ Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Join us In Person \nIf you enjoy meditating with others\, chanted meditations are a great opportunity to engage in group meditation. These chanted meditations are also known in Sanskrit as pujas\, meaning “offering”; and the prayers we recite are sadhanas\, meaning “methods for receiving attainments”. \nOur prayers are in English. We request the blessings\, protection and guidance of the holy beings. We can make requests for ourselves or for others who need help or protection. These spiritual practices create a strong connection with the Buddhas\, and help us purify our negativity and fill our mind with positive\, healing energy. \nHeart Jewel puja includes a period of silence for meditation. By relying upon this practice\, we can purify negativity\, accumulate merit\, and receive blessings. In this way\, we will naturally accomplish all the realizations of the stages of the path to Enlightenment and attain a very special Dharma wisdom. \nAll chanted prayers are free.

SUMMARY:Long Protector Puja
DESCRIPTION: \n \n\n\n\n \n  \nThis extensive sadhana—ritual prayers for spiritual attainments—is called “Kangso” in Tibetan\, which means “Fulfilling and Restoring Ritual.” \nUsually performed once a month in Dharma Centers in our tradition\, it is used for fulfilling our heart commitment to practice Lamrim\, Lojong\, and Mahamudra\, for restoring any degenerate or broken commitments we may have incurred\, and to rely on the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden\, regarding him as inseparable from our Spiritual Guide and Buddha. \nAll chanted prayers are free\, and everyone is welcome to attend. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Heruka Day Offering to the Spiritual Guide
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \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.

SUMMARY:Vajrayogini Day Offering to the Spiritual Guide
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \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.

SUMMARY:New Year's Day Retreat: The Purification Practice of Vajrasattva
DESCRIPTION:What are we wishing for in the new year? There is nothing greater than a peaceful heart; warm\, friendly feelings towards others; joy and contentment. If our mind is pure\, nothing can keep us from fulfilling our spiritual wishes. \nWhen human beings develop a sincere wish to purify negative karma in their own mind\, all the Buddhas appear as Buddha Vajrasattva. Vajrasattva’s path is the practice of taking stock of one’s own negative actions and promising to improve. Our Resident Teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan will give the Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva on Sunday\, December 31\, followed by a New Year’s Day guided Vajrasattva retreat. \nThis special retreat opportunity is perfect for anyone wishing to make their New Year align with their wish to purify negative habits and tendencies. \n \n  \nSchedule \nNew Year’s Day Vajrasattva Retreat Sessions\n10:30-11:30am\, 12:00-1:00pm\, 5-6pm\, 6:30-7:45pm \n  \nEach stand-alone retreat session is $10. \nCost for the whole retreat is $20. No pre-registration required: pay when you come or pay HERE. \n  \nPrayer booklets will be available for use or for purchase at our center. You can also purchase a downloadable e-publication of the prayers HERE.

SUMMARY:The Blessing Empowerment of Vajrasattva
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n**PRE-REGISTER HERE. SPACE IS LIMITED.** \nAn empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we make a direct connection with a Buddha and receive powerful blessings. \nGuru Vajrasattva is the Buddha of purification\, from whom we can receive special power to purify the potentials of all our negative actions. When spiritual seekers develop a wish to purify the negative karma within their minds\, all the Buddhas appear as Vajrasattva.  \nVenerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso says\, “Instead of blaming others whenever we experience problems\, we should use our problems to improve our understanding of karma\, or actions and their effects.” Improving our understanding of karma leads us to the conclusion – I must purify my negative karma BEFORE it ripens as suffering.\n \nThe empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we connect to Buddha Vajrasattva’s enlightened mind. By receiving these inspiring blessings\, we can develop our own practice of purification and gain the confidence we need to progress along the spiritual path. Through the power of our continued practice and Vajrasattva’s blessings we can cultivate the pure compassion of a Bodhisattva\, someone who can bring enormous relief to our suffering world. \nEveryone is welcome! \nPRE-REGISTER HERE \n$60 for Empowerment Day +New Year’s Day Vajrasattva Purification Retreat \n$50 for Empowerment Day only \n  \nEmpowerment Day Schedule: \n10:30 AM – 11 AM – Walk up Registration and check-in \n11 AM – 1 PM – Blessing Empowerment \n1 PM -2:30 PM – Lunch Break \n2:30 PM – 3:45 PM – Empowerment Commentary \n4:00 PM – 5:00 PM – Meditation and Recitation of Solitary Vajrasattva (Practice) \n  \nNew Year’s Day Vajrasattva Retreat Sessions\n10:30-11:30am \n12:00-1:00pm \n5:00-6:00pm \n6:30-7:45pm

SUMMARY:Foundation Program
DESCRIPTION:We are studying How to Understand the Mind by Buddhist Master Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. This book offers us deep insight into our mind\, and shows us how an understanding of its nature and functions can be used practically in everyday experience to improve our lives. \n  \nThrough systematic study and meditation on this program we can deepen our understanding and insight of Buddha’s teachings\, gain confidence in our meditation practice\, and transform our lives by transforming our own mind. By learning to understand our own experiences of difficulty\, problems\, and suffering\, we will be better able to support to those around us\, and impact their lives in a more positive\, meaningful way. \n  \nThis study program requires enrollment\, with a commitment to attend scheduled classes. Classes meet on Tuesday nights. Please click here to learn more. \n
