Heart Jewel Chanted Prayers and Meditation

The daily puja at Kadampa Buddhist Centers is Heart Jewel, with a short 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 and attain a very special Dharma wisdom. Mondays 6-6:45p    

Chanted Prayers for the Dying and Deceased 

Last Monday of each Month 6:00-6:45pm

Powa Ceremony, a beautiful and powerful ritual practice drawn from the Buddhist tantras, enables us to benefit the deceased by coming together as a group and making prayers and offerings on their behalf.  Then, through the power of our compassionate intention, strong prayers, and concentration on the practice, we transfer the consciousness of the deceased to the Pure Land of the Buddha of Compassion so that they will experience a pure and lasting peace and finally be freed from the painful cycling of suffering and its causes.  Everyone is welcome, please bring an offering of food or flowers if you wish.  January 25, February 22, March 29, April 26

Green Tara Chanted Prayers

At Kadampa Centers worldwide, the eighth of the month is Tara Day. Tara is a female Buddha, whose name means Rescuer; she is the embodiment of swift compassion. If we rely upon Tara sincerely and with strong faith, she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfill all our wishes.  Everyone welcome and invited to join us for Tara's chanted prayer practice, Liberation from Sorrow.  Tuesdays 6:00-6:45pm
