Full Tara Prayer

Tuesday Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. to ~8:30 p.m.
The usual Tuesday meditation/prayer this coming week falls on Tibetan New Year (Losar). Instead, we will do a Full Tara prayer to remove all obstacles and to pray for accomplishment of all our aspirations and make it a very auspicious year for everyone.

For the Full Tara prayer, please

  • 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.
  • bring your vajra and bell if you have them
Some bells/vajra are available and can be borrowed for the prayer
Some bells/vajra are available and can be borrowed for the prayer

  • 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.
