SUMMARY:Rinpoche Returns Home--Kata Ceremony ~ 7-9pm
DESCRIPTION:Ven. Khenpo Karten Rinpoche \nWe have details!  Rinpoche will land in Monterey at 8pm on Tuesday\, April 1st.   It’s suggested that you come to the Manjushri Dharma Center by 7pm and plan to wait until 9pm–as due to travel\, Rinpoche may be home early or late.   We will welcome Rinpoche home with a traditional kata ceremony (white silk scarf used to show respect).  Katas provided.  Offerings of flowers for the altar or healthy food (Rinpoche is diabetic) for his fridge is welcome! \nRinpoche will be very tired\, so after we welcome him home\, we will depart quickly and let him rest.   Please remember to let him rest this coming week\, and honor the “monk’s office hours” and not contact him prior to 12pm PT if possible.   (He uses the mornings for his personal practice). \nWe will all be together on Saturday\, April 5th for meditation–hope to see you there! \n

SUMMARY:Garden Volunteer Day
DESCRIPTION:Calling all volunteers!  We are hosting “Garden Volunteer Day #5:  Weeding with Warm Hearts”  🙂 Many hands make light work and we will focus on the happy weeds springing up after the rains.   Don’t worry\, they will spring up elsewhere!  We can help balance their immense success allowing our flowers more room to grow.  Our last garden volunteer day was in January before Rinpoche’s travel\, so there is much to do!  If you can lend even 15 minutes (or an hour\, or two) after meditation on Saturday\, April 19th\, 2025\, you will make a monk happy!  Thanks to all volunteers of the past\, present\, and future!   \nWe will supply:  coffee/tea/goodies and a few garden tools\nYou should supply:  your own garden gloves\, tools you like\, etc. \nMany thanks and hope to see you there! \nQuestions?  Contact Rachel at rachelichristo@gmail.com or 831-277-0529

SUMMARY:Japa Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche Remembrance Day--Guru Yoga Practice
DESCRIPTION:Please join us April 21st at 6:00PM for a Puja in remembrance of the 24th anniversary of the Parinirvana of Khenpo Karten’s Root Guru\, Japa Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche. We will practice a very precious sadhana\, “The Guru Practice\, Rain of Blessings\,” composed by Khenpo Karten and containing the “Prayer to Japa Sangye Tenzin” composed by the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinle Dorje.\n\n\n“Even Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche’s name is very wonderful. ‘Sang’ means clearing\, the clearing of adventitious mental afflictions and their imprints. ‘Gye’ means increase\, the increase of realized qualities such as compassion and wisdom realizing emptiness. His first name\, ‘Sang-gye’ means ‘Buddha’\, the same name as Buddha\, himself. ‘Ten’\, means Teachings\, the Teachings of Lord Buddha. ‘Tzin’ means to hold\, to uphold. In short\, his name means that he is a holder\, a protector\, of Lord Buddha’s Teachings. He was a special Guru who was really endowed with the meaning of what his name implies. We are all disciples of the same compassionate Guru. Don’t think that you have never met my Guru\, that you have never received initiation\, teachings\, or transmissions from him. You are my disciples. He is my root Guru. We are like one family.

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. \nTexts:\n\nWe have a NEW text from 1/6/24\, the same one used for our recent Green Tara empowerment.  NEW translation/text of the Green Tara Sadhana of Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa\nSupplemental texts:\n\nConcise Tara Prayer by Lama Gephel\nGreenTara-Sevenfold Supplication by Drikung Kyobpa Jikten Sumgon\nYouTube video of the Sevenfold Supplication prayer sung by Phub zam with beautiful imagery\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.

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. \nTexts:\n\nWe have a NEW text from 1/6/24\, the same one used for our recent Green Tara empowerment.  NEW translation/text of the Green Tara Sadhana of Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa\nSupplemental texts:\n\nConcise Tara Prayer by Lama Gephel\nGreenTara-Sevenfold Supplication by Drikung Kyobpa Jikten Sumgon\nYouTube video of the Sevenfold Supplication prayer sung by Phub zam with beautiful imagery\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.

SUMMARY:Monday Night Chanted Prayers - Amitabha Practice
DESCRIPTION:Buddha Amitabha  is the Buddha of Infinite Light. \nHere is a link to the main text (in Tibetan\, English\, and Chinese):      The Recitation for Accomplishment of Sukhavati from the Sky Dharma Mind Terma. \n\nChanted prayers are an important part of spiritual life\, regardless of where you are at on the path.  They allow us to still our minds\, connect with the blessings of the Buddhas\, and purify negative karma.   With these prayers we transform ourselves and our world into pure beings and pure lands\, free from suffering\, and connect with the energies of love and compassion.  Appropriate for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.  Prayer books provided/shown on screen.  Donations are not expected\, but always welcome \n\nMonday night prayers are held both in-person at the Dharma Center and virtually on Zoom.\n\nPlease do join us for this profound practice.

SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Blessing of the Waters 2025
DESCRIPTION:Friday June 20th\, 2025 is the summer solstice\, the longest day of the year.  For many years now\, at both summer and winter solstices\, Khenpo Karten Rinpoche offers a Blessing of the Waters\, by reciting two prayers that he composed\, Propitiating the Devas of the Four Elements and the Prayer for World Peace.We now have a new prayer book with many other prayers as well.   This year\, we will meet again in person at Lover’s Point Beach.  We will gather in community and send our good energy to the ocean\, to all the waters of the world\, and to all of nature and humanity.  Attendees are asked to bring flower petals/flowers for the offering. \nBecause this practice is on the beach\, there is no opportunity for us to also broadcast online (as far as known). \nThis practice may also be done by any person in they place they live.  Practitioners may download these prayers to recite at the beach\, by a river\, or wherever you choose outside in nature.  Bring some flowers to offer and send your good energy and wishes for healing to the waters of the world\, all the elements of nature\, and all sentient beings. \nHere is an “instruction on how to practice” the Blessing of the Waters\, composed by Rinpoche and Pema Tsultrim/Aaron (past MDC President) with more information on how to  conduct a “do-it-yourself” Blessing of the Waters ceremony.  Instructions on Blessing the Waters \nTashi Delek! \nPrayer for World Peace \nThrough roots of goodness of us all on this vast earth\, \nMay all living creatures become full of\nlove and compassion\, \nSo that all enjoy peace on earth! \nStop bad intentions\, thoughts and deeds\nof all those who terrorize others\, \nThat all living beings on this earth\ncome together like one family! \nMay all be well\, have long life and health\nwith bliss of mind\, free of illusion. \nMay all mothers have oceans of bliss\nof body\, for now\, and ultimately of mind. \nMay this lamp of wisdom love\, oneness\,\nhighest remedy to clear darkness\, \nEnter the hearts of all living beings\,\nso their perfect path be illumined! \n  \nFootnote to Prayer for World Peace:  In the name of all religions on earth\, as I see and hear of increasingly many unwarranted harmful actions being enacted\, thinking\, with a joyful\, universal aspiration\, how wonderful it would be if all such activities ceased entirely.  Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, on 2-4-2015\, on Wednesday\, His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s auspicious day\, wrote this dedication prayer to be recited at the conclusion of other prayers\, meditation\, or practices. \nImages:  Header is from 2020 summer solstice\, photographer unknown\, same for first of the three combined photos–last two are from 2017 summer solstice\, photographer Bill Cox. \n
