This morning puja alternates weekly between Amitabha and Green Tara pujas.

The purpose of these prayers to the protectors of our lineage is to reduce obstacles to our center as well as its members. If you aren't a Mahakala practitioner, you can do your own practice like ngöndro (Vajrayana preliminaries), mantra, or meditation during this time.

Morning meditation includes Khenpo Chophel's instruction on calm-abiding, compassion and tonglen (sending and taking), insight, and mindfulness meditation.

Twice a month Khenpo Chophel leads a group discussion on Gampopa's Jewel Ornament of Liberation.

This month we're doing Vajrasattva practice.

Join us on the last Friday of the month as we worship and provide a feast offering to all our students and members! At a feast offering, or tsok, we meditate on enlightened qualities we need in our lives, give food offerings to them, and take on those qualities for the benefit of all beings. Our center offers a worship rotation that we announce in our newsletters.

It is not enough just to meditate: we also need to read and contemplate the Dharma to gain insight into the true nature of this worldly existence. On the last Saturday of the month, Khenpo Chophel leads us in teaching on the Buddha's Dharma and answers our questions. Join us as we deepen our understanding of this mind-made world.
