SUMMARY:Monday Night Chanted Prayers Online-Chöd Practice
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Monday at 6:30PM PST on Zoom for the practice of Chöd.\n\n\nHere is the text for the practice:  The Longchen Nyingthig CHÖD PRACTICE\, “The Loud Laugh of the Dakini.”\n\n\nChöd\, which means “to cut\,” is a profound path of severing dualistic fixation and ego-clinging. For the chod practitioner\, the body is regarded as the primary object of clinging. Through visualizing one’s consciousness as the female Buddha T’hroma Nagmo (The “Wrathful Black Mother”) the yogi or yogini offers the ordinary body to the assembled guests: enlightened beings\, gods and demons (personifications of the five poisons)\, and those owed karmic debts\, purifying negative karma and accumulating merit on a vast scale. Combining the view of the Prajnaparamita Sutra with the highest view of Dzogchen\, Chöd is known for its haunting melodies and ritual instrumentation. When performed for others\, it is a powerful healing ritual.\n\n\n\n\nOnline via the MDC Zoom:  \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86345470369?pwd=Mk1QQmFXVEdkd1N3RWlrbllNWXNFQT09\nMeeting ID: 863 4547 0369\nPassword required: Peace=Love

SUMMARY:No Wednesday Night Chanted Prayers Online
DESCRIPTION:We celebrate Rinpoche’s silent home retreat for the month of November!  There will be no chanted prayer session on Wednesday\, December 1st on Facebook Live.  The next session is scheduled for Wednesday\, December 22nd\, but be sure to check Facebook for any updates.\n\n  \nMedicine Buddha (Buddha of Infinite Healing)\, creating the causes for a world that is healed from illness and disease.  You can find a link to the prayer text here:  MedicineBuddhaPuja_༄༅།-།སྨན་བླའི་སྒྲུབས་ཐབས་བཞུགས་སོ།-།.pdf \nAdditionally\, Rinpoche wrote a very short but beautiful teaching on the practice of Medicine Buddha\, which includes the visualization:  Medicine Buddha Practice for Corona Virus from Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, posted on the Teachings page originally in March 2020. \nAlso\, our main Monday night prayer practice has always been Buddha Amitabha (the Buddha of Infinite Light)\, so we typically also recite the Amitabha mantra.  Here are two versions of that text–first a short version:  Amitabha Prayer Practice.    And here is the long text (this is our main text for practice):  The Recitation for Accomplishment of Sukhavati from the Sky Dharma Mind Terma. \nPlease join us as we wish for all beings to have health and peace of mind. \nWednesday night prayers tend to be in Tibetan\, but Rinpoche always gives some guidance and teaching in English as well.  All practitioners can follow along in the spirit and intention of peace and healing. \n  \nVia Facebook Live:  Manjushri Dharma Center Facebook\nImage courtesy of Miles McBreen

SUMMARY:Monday Night Chanted Prayers Online-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 motherly sentient beings from the suffering ocean of samsara. \nShe is known as the Mother of all Buddhas\, born from Chenrezig’s tear of compassion. She will swiftly come to comfort and protect those who supplicate her. Especially from emotional\, and physical sufferings. In her hands she holds utpala flowers which symbolize power and purity.  \nThis is also my daily practice; we will pray for overcoming fear and clearing of obstacles. Also pray for those who have passed away from coronavirus.   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.  (Prayer text will be shown on screen\, but we don’t have permission yet to add to our website) \nWritten by Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, adapted for the Monday night session.  \n  \nLink to Join Prayer Practice via Zoom:  Monday Night Prayer Practice\nPassword required:  WorldPeace\n  \nOr join by phone (your normal phone charges may apply):\nUS: +1 669 900 6833 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 253 215 8782 or +1 646 876 9923 or +1 301 715 8592 or +1 312 626 6799\nMeeting ID: 970 1801 1835\nInternational numbers available: https://middlebury.zoom.us/u/abeH9hRvO3\nPhone Password: 470102 (phone password only\, no participant ID\, press # to bypass)

SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Blessing of the Waters
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 21st 2023 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.  This year\, we will meet again in person.  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. \nAdditionally\, here is an “instruction on how to practice” the Blessing of the Waters\, composed by Rinpoche and Pema/Aaron with more information on how to  conduct a “do-it-yourself” Blessing of the Waters ceremony. \nInstructions 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! \nFootnote:  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. \n

SUMMARY:Fire Puja (Riwo Sangchod)-In Person
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 24\nFire Puja (Riwo Sangchod)-In Person \n10:00 am at Manjushri Dharma Center (backyard)\nIn Person Event\, masks and social distance required\n724 Forest Avenue\, Pacific Grove\n \nOn Thursday\, June 24th beginning at 10:00am in the backyard of the Manjushri Dharma Center (724 Forest Avenue) Khenpo Karten Rinpoche will offer the Riwo Sangchod\, the Mountain Smoke Offering practice.   All attendees must wear masks and maintain social distance. \n“Riwo Sangchö\, The Mountain Smoke Offering’\, comes from the viewpoint of Dzogchen. It is really the best practice to remove obstacles and fulfil both temporary and long-term wishes. The smoke offering is made to all wisdom beings\, to the Three Jewels\, the Three Roots and Dharma Protectors\, and the Three Kayas. Offering to the wisdom beings helps us to accumulate merit and wisdom. This brings short-term happiness and ultimate enlightenment. We also offer to all demonic beings who are actually manifestations of our karmic debt. These karmic debtors cause obstacles of all kinds\, both temporary in this life and also long-term obstacles to enlightenment. Through this offering\, karmic debtors are repaid\, removing all of these obstacles. This is really the best technique.” –Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

DESCRIPTION:On Monday we will practice the prayers of Medicine Buddha (Buddha of Infinite Healing)\, creating the causes for a world that is healed from illness and disease.  You can find a link to the prayer text here:  MedicineBuddhaPuja_༄༅།-།སྨན་བླའི་སྒྲུབས་ཐབས་བཞུགས་སོ།-།.pdf \nAdditionally\, Rinpoche wrote a very short but beautiful teaching on the practice of Medicine Buddha\, which includes the visualization:  Medicine Buddha Practice for Corona Virus from Khenpo Karten Rinpoche\, posted on the Teachings page originally in March 2020. \nAlso\, our main Monday night prayer practice has always been Buddha Amitabha (the Buddha of Infinite Light)\, so we typically also recite the Amitabha mantra.  Here are two versions of that text–first a short version:  Amitabha Prayer Practice.    And here is the long text (this is our main text for practice):  The Recitation for Accomplishment of Sukhavati from the Sky Dharma Mind Terma. \nPlease join us as we wish for all beings to have health and peace of mind. \nLink to Join Prayer Practice via Zoom:  Monday Night Prayer Practice\nPassword required:  WorldPeace\nOr join by phone (your normal phone charges may apply):\nUS: +1 669 900 6833 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 253 215 8782 or +1 646 876 9923 or +1 301 715 8592 or +1 312 626 6799\nMeeting ID: 970 1801 1835 (there is no participant number\, so press # to bypass)\nPhone Password: 470102 \nInternational numbers available: https://middlebury.zoom.us/u/abeH9hRvO3 \nImage by MDC Sangha member Miles McBreen
