SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Meditation Class via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Taking Refuge in Impermanence\n  \nWe look to our enjoyments\, our relationships\, and our livelihoods for security. But what happens when these things change\, or disappear altogether? \n  \nWhen we accept and embrace change and decay as the way of the world\, we loosen our tight grasping at the things we think we need to be happy — not just understanding Buddha’s teachings on impermanence intellectually\, but actually taking refuge in them. \n  \nEach 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. \n  \nPlease arrive five minutes early to settle. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85226687739 \nMeeting ID: 852 2668 7739

SUMMARY:Long Protector Puja
DESCRIPTION:This 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. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/871476190 \nMeeting ID: 871 476 190

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 – please email us for a zoom invite.

SUMMARY:Foundation Program via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:We are studying Universal Compassion\, living Buddhist Master Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s commentary to the Lojong text Training the Mind in Seven Points by Geshe Chekhawa.

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. \nThis study program requires enrollment\, with a commitment to attend scheduled classes. Classes meet on most Tuesday nights and some Friday nights. Please click here to see Winter/Spring 2021 schedule. \nPlease speak with our center Admin Director\, Teresa Kuntz\, or Resident Teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan for information about enrollment.

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. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88127951454 \nMeeting ID: 881 2795 1454
