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: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: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
