On the very auspicious day of Monday, August 21, 2017 we will recite a special prayer called the Prayer of Kuntuzangpo (Tib. ཀུན་བཟང་སྨོན་ལམ་, Kunzang Mönlam) — a famous Dzogchen aspiration prayer from the Gongpa Zangthal. It is to be recited especially during a solar or lunar eclipse, an earthquake or at the solstices.  This aspiration prayer comes from the Dzogchen tantra called the Tantra of the Great Perfection which Shows the Penetrating Wisdom of Samantabhadra. In Tibetan, the short title of this tantra is Gongpa Zangthal Gyi Gyü, which means “The Tantra of Penetrating Wisdom” or “The Tantra of Transcendent Intention.”    Monday is considered a “merit multiplier day,” meaning that our intentions and actions are amplified by countless millions, so practitioners are encouraged to set positive intentions and to act in accordance with love and compassion with special focus on this day.   Rinpoche will lead us in the special prayer of the Kunzang Mönlam, and in addition, we will recite the Avalokiteshvara prayers, the Buddha of Great Compassion and rainbow light, wishing freedom from suffering for all sentient beings.  Join us for this very meritorious night!     Free of charge, but donations are welcome.
