SUMMARY:Melodious Drum Puja
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n \n  \nThis extensive sadhana or “ritual prayers for spiritual attainments” is called Melodious Drum Victorious in All Directions\, or 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.

SUMMARY:Wishfulfilling Jewel Prayers w/ Meditation
DESCRIPTION:If 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 puja\, meaning offering\, or as sadhana\, which means method for receiving attainments. \nUsing prayers in English\, we receive 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. \nWishfulfilling Jewel puja includes a period of silence for meditation on Lamrim. 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:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:De-clutter Your Mind\n\nWe usually feel great satisfaction when our kitchen\, office\, garage or bedroom is clean and tidy. But what about our mind? \nMeditation can help us balance our mind as we navigate the world with all its stress and stimulation. Buddha taught that the mind is always moving\, flitting from thought to thought without control. They might seem harmless\, but these fleeting thoughts make our inner world cluttered and unpeaceful. \nEach Wednesday evening class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone. \nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle. \n

SUMMARY:Buddha's Return from Heaven Day
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a special Offering to the Spiritual Guide practice to celebrate Buddha’s Return from Heaven Day. \n\nThe following explanation is an extract from a talk given by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso on this day in 1991: \n“On this day we celebrate Buddha’s return from the desire god realm called Land of the Thirty-three Heavens\, where he had been to visit his mother who had been reborn there. \nTraditionally this day also marks the end of the summer retreat. Every year\, during the summer months\, Buddha did a three-month retreat with his disciples. His reason for doing this was to avoid harming insects and other animals. \nIf we go out a lot during the summer months we will naturally kill more insects and other animals than at other times of the year. The nature of Buddhadharma is universal compassion\, an unbiased compassion that is not just for human beings but for every living being\, including animals. \nIn fact\, we should have stronger compassion for animals than for human beings because animals suffer more. Human beings have better conditions and are more fortunate than animals. Because animals have so much suffering and no freedom\, out of compassion Buddhists should try not to kill or disturb them. So\, for three months during the summer\, Buddha advised his disciples to retreat\, staying always inside and living carefully and conscientiously. \nOne year during the annual summer retreat Buddha went to the Land of the Thirty-three Heavens. After his mother died she had taken rebirth in this god realm\, so-called because it has thirty-three different types of god. \nThe king of this realm is called Indra. The Indra who was king at that time was also Buddha’s disciple and he invited Buddha to go there. So Buddha went to benefit his mother and also\, at Indra’s request\, to benefit the other gods living there. He stayed three months\, and then returned on this day. \nThis day is therefore very special. It is said that if we engage in any kind of virtuous action on this day it becomes especially powerful and our merit greatly increases. For example\, if we offer one single light offering this action is multiplied to become millions of light offerings. \nOn this day we should especially remember Buddha’s kindness.” \n

SUMMARY:Kadampa U.S. Festival at IKRC Grand Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Kadampa Temple for World Peace in Northern Arizona. This special week-long event is also available online! \nAbout the Teachings\nFear and anxiety plague our world. As we deal with everything from minor insecurities and social anxiety to concerns about major world events\, it’s hard to find a sense of safety and tranquility. Even worse\, our fears often stop us from doing what’s right for ourselves and others. During this US Festival we will discover how to develop a spiritual power by relying on Buddha Vajrapani that will help us break out of this fearful state into a courageous\, empowered attitude. We will also learn how to harness the five forces\, a special inner tool\, to bring about radical\, positive change in our life. \nBuddha Vajrapani is the Buddha of spiritual power. With the development of spiritual power we possess the confidence\, inner strength and skill not only to take on and defeat our own delusions\, but to be of great benefit in helping free others from their delusions as well. Nothing could be more meaningful. \nThe empowerment is a beautiful and inspiring guided meditation and ritual in which we are introduced to Buddha Vajrapani from whom we then receive many blessings\, adding great power to our own practice as well as sowing seeds for our future attainment of enlightenment. \nClick here to see the schedule

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:De-clutter Your Mind\n\nWe usually feel great satisfaction when our kitchen\, office\, garage or bedroom is clean and tidy. But what about our mind? \nMeditation can help us balance our mind as we navigate the world with all its stress and stimulation.

They might seem harmless\, but these fleeting thoughts make our inner world cluttered and unpeaceful. \nEach Wednesday evening class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone. \nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle. \n

SUMMARY:Powa Prayers
DESCRIPTION:  \nThrough 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: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 on Lamrim. 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.
