Tuesday 16 June
We celebrated His Holiness 17th Karmapa’s Tibetan Birthday on the first day of the fifth lunar month. We were honoured to have Venerable Pong Re Rinpoche preside over the celebrations, with our Sangha Datemba Sherpa and Pasang Lama. The day began with a procession of His Holiness’ portrait, with offerings of incense, Gyaling (horns) and Kata (scarves).
Sang Fire puja was conducted followed by a traditional Body, Speech and Mind Mandala Offering lead by Rinpoche. Prayers for His Holiness’ long and healthy life and flourishing great Dharma activity were concluded with the offering of traditional Tibetan tea and birthday cake.

GREEN TARA. PUJA

Tara is the liberator, the Mother of the Buddhas, who arose from the tears of Avalokiteshvara, the Lord of Compassion.

Tara embodies the action energy which quickly removes obstacles.

People sponsor a Tara Puja when they are engaged in a project or important activity which requires a speedy and positive outcome and also in times of personal difficulty such as family problems or business obstacles.



Feel free to join us and light some butterlamps.

If you would like to sponsor Green Tara puja please contact the NZ Karma Kagyu Trust on [email protected]
