SUMMARY:No Monday Night Practice
DESCRIPTION:Typically on Monday nights we gather together to transform ourselves and our world through chanted prayers. We will take a brief break this week\, and anticipate resuming our practice on Monday\, April 9th. Using the prayers of Amitabha Buddha (Infinite light)\, Buddha Avalokiteshvara (Infinite Compassion) or Medicine Buddha (Infinite Healing)\, we get in touch with a sense of gratitude\, receive blessings\, purify negativity\, and practice seeing ourselves and our world as pure beings\, free from all suffering. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Welcome Home Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:Update: Rinpoche’s flight arrived early and he is back\, recuperating from his long travels now. We will let him rest now and we look forward to seeing him soon. \nOriginal Post: After a three month trip to India\, Singapore\, and Malaysia where Rinpoche received teachings from His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, was joyfully reunited with his family and friends\, and where he taught Dharma to his students in these beautiful parts of the world\, we are so happy to announce that our kind teacher\, Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, will return home on Sunday\, April 8th\, flying into San Francisco at roughly 10:00 AM.  The community is invited to gather at the Manjushri Dharma Center to welcome back our teacher with warmth and enthusiasm. We will line up upon his arrival and present katas: white\, ceremonial scarves that are a sign of respect and symbolic blessings. Participants are encouraged to bring offerings such as flowers for the alter\, fruits\, vegetables\, or healthy\, homemade meals to stock Rinpoche’s refrigerator. (No sugary sweets please). Participants may also bring snacks for the community to enjoy while we await Rinpoche’s arrival\, which will be sometime between noon and 1:30 PM approximately. Come enjoy visiting together and help to welcome home Rinpoche!

SUMMARY:Monday Night Chanted Prayers
DESCRIPTION:Chanted prayers are an important component of training in spiritual life. They help us to still our mind\, connect with the Buddhas and receive blessings. Join us on Monday evenings as Rinpoche leads us in chanted prayers recited in Tibetan and English.  Prayers are typically those of Amitabha Buddha (Buddha of Infinite Light)\, but occasionally also Avalokiteshvara Buddha (Buddha of Infinite Compassion) or Medicine Buddha (Buddha of Infinite Healing). We imagine a world transformed\, purified\, and at peace.  Beginners to advanced practitioners are welcome\, prayer books are provided. Free of charge\, but donations are welcome.
