    As we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, JAM TSE CHÖLING TIBETAN
    BUDDHIST TEMPLE offers SHE NYING DHÜN DHOG (Seven-Ritual Heart
    Sutra Prayer). This profound and rare ritual is performed to avert suffering
    and illness caused by both human and non-human forces, and to protect
    practitioners and individuals from the four obstructing maras that hinder
    spiritual progress and wholesome worldly aims.

    We also pray for the unhindered fulfillment of the enlightened intentions of
    His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and all noble lineage holders. May every
    obstacle to their activities be pacified, and may their aspirations for all
    beings be swiftly accomplished.

    Prayers for Peace
    May conflicts, and all harmful conditions throughout the world be pacified,
    so that peace and well-being may arise everywhere.

    ALL ARE WELCOME – No registration fee
    Vegetarian lunch will be offered at noon.

  • Tibetan word of the day: གཞི་གྲུབ་

    གཞི་གྲུབ་

    Established basis

    Spelling (jorlok; Tib. སྦྱོར་ཀློག་) and pronunciation:
    གཞི་ – ga-o zha gigu zhi
    གྲུབ་ – ga ra-tak dra zhabkyu dru ba drub
    zhi drub

    From class notes:

    “First, what must be understood is this: the established basis (Tib. གཞི་གྲུབ་ gzhi grub), object of knowledge (Tib. ཤེས་བྱ་ shes bya), existence (Tib. ཡོད་པ་ yod pa), and phenomena (Tib. ཆོས་ chos) are all of one meaning.

    The meaning of an established basis is that which is established by valid cognition (Skt. pramāṇa).”


    Geshe la encourages us to learn Tibetan to help gain deeper
    understanding of the teachings, and gain access to prayers and rituals that have not been translated. The Tibetan word of the day is offered to give regular exposure to Tibetan reading and vocabulary.
