Event: Commentary on Lama Choepa practice (New book)
Date: Sunday, February 28th at 2.30pm

Location: DGTL


Lama Choepa practice:

The Lama Choepa (Guru puja) by Panchen Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen is very easy, comprehensive, and profound practice.  In order to achieve enlightenment for sake of all sentient beings, we need to create accumulation of merit and wisdom. In this practice, we make offerings to our Spiritual Masters and the Three Jewels, requesting them to grant us blessings and inspiration and train our mind in the stages of path to enlightenment.  We can achieve both accumulations with this practice. It contains essence of all the Buddha's Sutra and Tantra teachings.

 

During the teaching our resident teacher Ven. Kuten lama will offer commentary, guide meditation, teach practice, lead discussion, and Q&A.

Project: Adopt a monk 
For just $20 a month (much less than $1 a day), you can sponsor or ensure that a young monk will continue his studies at the monastery and make a better life for himself and others.  In exchange, you will know the satisfaction of extending a helping hand to someone whose quality of life depends on it.  You will also secure an opportunity to develop a relationship with a child who will treasure your support and whose presence in your own life will be deeply enriching. Won’t you consider adopting a young monk and providing the conditions for a life to change forever?  When they are, you will be able to choose a monk whose personal story touches you in some way, and pledge your support.   Until then, please contact "Adopt a Monk Project": dgtl@ganden.org or Call: (812) 339-0857.
