Lhabab Düchen: Online Sutra Recitation and Meditation for Auspiciousness
Saturday, October 31, 2026 | 7:00 PM Pacific Time | Online

SI Canada warmly welcomes you to join us for an online gathering in celebration of Lhabab Düchen, one of the four great Buddhist festivals commemorating the life of Shakyamuni Buddha.

Lhabab Düchen commemorates the Buddha’s descent from heaven, where he taught the Dharma to benefit the gods and repay his mother’s kindness by liberating her through his teachings.

Sutra Recitation and Meditation
We will recite the Heart Sutra, the Sutra of Recollection of the Three Jewels, and auspicious prayers to reflect on the profound teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha.

We will also offer a guided meditation inspired by quotations from the King of Samādhis Sutra, published by 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha. Through a sequence of readings and periods of silence, participants will be invited to explore themes of motivation, mindfulness, concentration, non-conceptual awareness, and emptiness.

Language and Texts
The sutras and prayers will be recited in both English and Chinese, with the texts displayed on screen. The Samadhis meditation will be conducted in English only.

PDF texts are available in both English and Chinese. Please visit https://siddharthasintent.org/events/lhabab-duchen-online-sutra-recitation-and-meditation-for-auspiciousness/ for the link to download the text.

Meeting ID: 865 0448 8655

All are welcome to join us for prayers and meditation on this auspicious occasion. Together, we will dedicate the merit of our practice to the well-being and liberation of all sentient beings.

We look forward to practicing together on this special day!

Puja: beating Mr Distraction at his own game 🎯

“Why do we need this? Well, the thing is this — even though [the truth] is so simple and blatantly obvious, we have developed so many habits of getting distracted. So what we are doing is we are using Mr Distraction's same tactic and applying a monitored distraction. So we apply a method to adore this un-adorable, or beyond-adorable fact.”

— Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
