TEA OFFERING/ FOOD OFFERING/ LAMP OFFERING (AND OTHERS) AT BODHGAYA, INDIA – JAN 25, 2012 TO FEB 3, 2012
Khenpo Dondhup Tashi Rinpoche and members of the Center will be embarking on a pilgrimage to the place where Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment - Bodhgaya, India to join the Annual Great Prayer Festival (Monlam) to be held January 25 to Feb 3, 2012.
During this prayer festival, thousands of monks and lay people from all over the world gather in one big assembly to perform aspirational prayers and practices for the swift rebirth of Enlightened Beings; for the long life and continuation of the enlightened activities of all Gurus; for the spreading of Buddha’s teachings; for world peace and for the liberation and ultimate happiness of all beings in samsara.
As this is such a grand meritorious occasion, Khenpo encourages everyone to take this special opportunity to create merits and connection to such occasion through TEA, FOOD, MONEY or LAMP OFFERINGS to the thousands of monks praying at Bodhgaya.
ONE TIME tea offering to all monks will cost 30,000 pesos while food offering will cost 270,000 pesos. Khenpo encourages the Philippine Palyul members to collectively raise donations to at least make a one time Tea Offering. Depending on the donations collected, we may offer food or divide donations between lamp offering, life release and hanging prayer flags.
For those who would like to participate, please register names and donations with the Center before January 23, 2012. Thank you very much.
WEEKLY BUDDHISM (BEGINNER'S) CLASSES, EVERY SATURDAY, 4PM
Our new resident adviser, Khenpo Tashi Dhondup Rinpoche teaches beginner's Buddhism classes in English every Saturday at 4 pm. As Buddha Dharma is deep and vast, the guidance of a spiritual teacher is very important. Please come and join us. Listen to the Buddha Dharma intently and then study, reflect and apply it to your daily lives. You shall gain innumerable benefits.
SUPPORT TO PALYUL MONASTERY, INDIA
We would also like to inform everyone that we are raising funds for our Palyul Monastery in South India to help support the 4000 plus monks studying and serving Dharma (Buddha's teachings).
