Today, during the sacred Saka Dawa month, our sangha gathered for the Medicine Buddha Puja under the guidance of His Eminence Arjia Rinpoche, Venerable Minyak Rinpoche, and the monastic community.

Together, we offered prayers for healing, peace, longevity, and the well-being of all sentient beings. We also offered heartfelt Long Life Prayers for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, praying that his enlightened activities continue to flourish and benefit countless beings throughout the world for many years to come.

May the blessings of Medicine Buddha bring good health, remove obstacles, relieve suffering, and inspire wisdom and compassion in all.

We rejoice in the merit created by everyone who participated in person and online. Thank you for joining us in this meaningful practice.

Today, we concluded our series of Saka Dawa Fire Pujas with the final Fire Puja before noon.

Under the guidance and blessings of His Eminence Arjia Rinpoche, together with Venerable Minyak Rinpoche, Venerable Geshe Kunga, and the monastic community, we gathered in prayer and offering to accumulate merit, purify negativities, and dedicate the virtues for the benefit of all sentient beings.

The sacred fire symbolizes purification and transformation, reminding us to let go of obstacles, negative actions, and harmful habits while cultivating wisdom, compassion, and loving-kindness.

As our Saka Dawa celebrations continue, we rejoice in the opportunity to practice together and dedicate all merit for world peace, the flourishing of the Dharma, the long life of our precious teachers, and the happiness of all beings.

Today, we joyfully celebrated the sacred occasion of Saka Dawa, commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha.

We were deeply honored by the presence of His Eminence Arjia Rinpoche, Venerable Minyak Rinpoche, Venerable Geshe Kunga, and the monks, who led the chanting of the Four Mandala Offerings to Arya Tara, followed by Long Life Prayers for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and prayers of dedication.

We were also grateful to have many participants joining us from near and far, united in prayer and devotion on this most auspicious day. Together, we accumulated merit, made offerings, and prayed for the flourishing of the Dharma, the long life of our precious teachers, and the well-being of all sentient beings.

May the blessings of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha bring peace, happiness, good health, and wisdom to all. May the compassionate activities of His Holiness the Dalai Lama continue to benefit the world for many years to come.
