Here are a few events upcoming over the next few weeks.

Tara Prayer

Monday Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. to ~8:30 p.m.
The usual Tuesday prayer is cancelled this week, as we have a full moon (which is also a super moon and total lunar eclipse). It will take place Monday.

For the Full Tara prayer, please

  • bring your vajra and bell if you have them
  • bring offerings for the altar: flowers, fruits or cookies made without eggs or animal fats.
  • avoid eating meat, eggs, onions or garlic during the day until after the prayers.

Losar (Tibetan New Year) Celebrations

Tuesday Feb 5 at 7pm to ~8:30pm: A full Tara prayer is also taking place on the evening of the new year
Sunday Feb 10 at ~12:00pm (following the teaching): We will also hold a potluck lunch to celebrate Losar

    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.
