    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: ལྷན་ཅིག་བྱེད་པའི་རྐྱེན་

    ལྷན་ཅིག་བྱེད་པའི་རྐྱེན་

    co-operating conditions

    Spelling (jorlok; Tib. སྦྱོར་ཀློག་) and pronunciation:
    ལྷན་ – la ha-tak hla na hlen
    ཅིག་ – ca gigu ci ga cig (chik)
    བྱེད་ – ba ya-tak ja drengbu je da je
    པའི་ – pa a gigu i pe
    རྐྱེན་ – ra ka-tak ka ya-tak kya drengbu kye na kyen
    hlen chik je pe kyen

    From class, we discussed results that do and don’t use the
    co-operating conditions of soil and water, such as a tree and fire, respectively.


    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.
