We will have a break from the regular schedule mid-December. There will be no Dharma teachings, meditation and prayer sessions from Sunday December 15th through to the New Year. The regular schedule will resume with Dharma teachings on Sunday January 5th 2019. Please refer to the calendar for up-to-date scheduling information.

Our Sunday teachings will continue the topic of the 12 links of dependent origination during December, and we will continue where we left off after the break.

We will also have a Full Tara Prayer during the full moon on Dec. 11th 7:00-8:30 pm.

Lhabab Duchen celebrates Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s return to Earth from the God Realm of the Thirty-Three after teaching Dharma for several months to the gods, including his mother, Mayadevi, who had died a week after Buddha’s birth and been reborn there.

As a merit multiplying day, the karmic results of actions done on this day are multiplied millions of times.

Geshe la will be leading us in a tsog offering.

There is a full moon this week on Friday. We will hold a full Tara prayer at 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. on Friday September 13th.

The Tuesday Meditation/Prayer session for this week is cancelled due to the full moon.

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.
