WHAT IS DHARMA?

For practising Buddhists, references to "dharma" generally means the teachings of the Buddha, commonly known throughout the East as Buddhadharma. It includes especially the discourses on the fundamental principles (such as the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path), as opposed to the parables and to the poems. The Buddha's teachings explain that in order to end suffering, dharma, or the right thoughts, understanding, actions and livelihood, should be cultivated.

FULL MOON PRACTICE

Please join us for a practice that we offer on the full moon - the aspirational prayer of Kuntuzangpo, the Primordial Buddha. In addition, we have a fire puja to offer prayers for those who have recently died and are in the bardo, as well as remembering those who are ill. If you would like to add names for the offering, you can do so prior to the practice. Rinpoche will lead meditation practice centered around our Great Kindness Teacher, Buddha Shakyamuni. For Buddhists, this is one of the most sacred days.
