SUMMARY:Month of Saga Dawa
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 9th 2024\, marked the beginning of the month of Saga Dawa\, which will end on Thursday\, June 6th 2024. This is the most auspicious month in the Tibetan lunar calendar. In Tibetan\, “Saga” means fourth and is also the name of a star which is prominent in the sky during the fourth lunar month; “Dawa” refers to the whole month. Saga Dawa is sacred because in this month\, three monumental events — the birth\, enlightenment\, and nirvana of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni — are all believed to have taken place. Because of this\, throughout the month of Saga Dawa\, there is a great multiplying effect of the meritorious and demeritorious actions of body\, speech\, and mind by 100\,000 times. Throughout this month\, any positive actions such as doing solitary retreats\, meditation\, prostrations\, or any other form of virtuous Dharmic activities made through the body\, speech\, and mind will be multiplied by 100\,000. In the same way\, any unwholesome or negative activities will also be multiplied by 100\,000.

SUMMARY:Monday Night Chanted Prayers - Green Tara Practice
DESCRIPTION:The feminine embodiment of enlightened activity\, Green Tara is the swift liberator\, a compassionate and loving protector in times of distress and great danger. Through meditating on the form and mantra Arya Tara\, and chanting the Praises to her 21 different manifestations\, we receive the blessings to become inseparable from Tara herself\, actualizing the potential to liberate all sentient beings from the suffering ocean of samsara.  She is known as the Mother of all Buddhas\, born from Chenrezig’s tear of compassion (in one of many origin stories). She will swiftly come to comfort and protect those who supplicate her\, she gives protection from emotional and physical sufferings. In her hands she holds utpala flowers which symbolize power and pure compassionate intention. \n“This is also my daily practice\,” writes Rinpoche.  “We will pray for overcoming fear and clearing of obstacles. We will recite the mantra “OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA “.  You can see me and recite the mantra at the same time so we can practice together for those who have recently died. Thank you and Tashi Delek.” \nPrayers will be recited in both Tibetan and English. \nText:\n\nMain prayer text\, courtesy of KTD Publications in Woodstock NY (for students only\, please do not make or distribute printed copies):  Green Tara Sadhana of Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa\nSupplemental texts:\n\nConcise Tara Prayer by Lama Gephel\nGreenTara-Sevenfold Supplication by Drikung Kyobpa Jikten Sumgon\n\n\n\nDescription of the Tara practice above was written by Khenpo Karten Rinpoche.  Image courtesy of Miles McBreen. \nMonday night prayers are held both in-person at the Dharma Center and virtually on Zoom. \n\n\nPlease do join us for this profound practice.
