SUMMARY:Student-facilitated Saturday Morning Silent Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Meditation is a helpful way to relax the body and calm the mind\, and it can help us connect to timeless\, innate inner peace.  While Rinpoche is away\, we will continue to open the Dharma Center for Saturday morning meditation.  What better way to honor our teacher than to practice! \nIn-person only while Rinpoche is away\, no Zoom option (apologies!)

SUMMARY:Happy Lhabab Düchen!
DESCRIPTION:Lhabab Düchen is a Buddhist festival celebrated to observe the Buddha’s descent from the Trāyastriṃśa heaven down to earth. According to legend\, the Buddha ascended the Trāyastriṃśa heaven temporarily at the age of 41\, in order to give teachings to benefit the gods in that desire realm and to repay the kindness of his mother by liberating her from Samsara. He was exhorted by his disciple and representative Maudgalyayana to return\, and after a long debate and under a Full Moon Buddha agreed to return. He returned to earth a week later by a special triple ladder prepared by Viswakarma\, the god of machines. This event is considered to be one of the eight great deeds of the Buddha. \nOn Lhabab Düchen\, the effects of positive or negative actions are multiplied ten million times. It is part of Tibetan Buddhist tradition to engage in virtuous activities and prayer on this day. \nThis year Rinpoche is on retreat during this great occasion–to rejoice in his merit is a great virtuous act!\n\nHappy Lhabab Düchen \nAbout the image: The Buddha’s Descent from Tavatimsa Heaven\, 19th Century\, Thailand\, from the Walters Art Museum\, and Look and Learn History.

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.
