Pujas and prayers are held at the Main Center each week. These meditations have a particularly powerful effect on the mind and create strong positive energy that is shared by all.

Through these meditations we can receive special blessings from Buddha.

NOTE: Please check our calendar for the latest group meditation schedule as these days and times may change or be pre-empted by special events and breaks.

Offering to the Spiritual Guide Puja

10th and 25th - check monthly calendar for times

This is a special Guru yoga of Je Tsongkhapa in conjunction with Highest Yoga Tantra that is a preliminary practice for Vajrayana Mahamudra. The main practice is relying upon our Spiritual Guide as a Buddha and making praises and requests, but it also includes all the essential practices of the stages of the path, and training the mind, as well as both the generation stage and completion stage of Highest Yoga Tantra. By relying upon Je Tsongkhapa our compassion, wisdom and spiritual power naturally increase. This practice includes a tsog offering so you are welcome to bring a food offering with you if you wish. (2 hours)

Long Protector Puja

Check monthly calendar for dates and times

This monthly practice consists principally of prayers to our Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugdän. A Dharma Protector is an emanation of a Buddha or Bodhisattva whose main functions are to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from attaining spiritual realizations, and to arrange all the necessary conditions for their practice. Dorje Shugdän always helps, guides, and protects pure and faithful practitioners by granting blessings, increasing their wisdom, fulfilling their wishes, and bestowing success on all their virtuous activities. This practice includes a tsog offering so you are welcome to bring a food offering with you if you wish. (4 hours)
