Please note that the regular Tuesday meditation/prayer session will be cancelled due to performing the Full Tara prayer on Wed Jan 31

We will have a Full Moon Tara prayer Wednesday Jan. 31 starting at 7 p.m. It’s not only the first of two Blue Moons in 2018, but also a super moon and total Lunar eclipse. All three special moons in one day. So this will be a very powerful day for practice. The last Blue Moon total eclipse was 150 years ago.

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.

Another special event coming up is Yamantaka Purification, Saturday Feb 10 at 11 a.m. A separate reminder will be sent for the event next week.

We will have a break until Sunday January 7th.

Please have a happy holidays. Geshe la’s message for the New Year is to remember to practice reducing the 3 poisons (desire, anger, ignorance). This will bring a good heart and spacious mind, resulting in great benefit and happiness.
