Lion's Roar Dharma Center is partnering with local faith communities to support neighbors, families, and adult students in South Sacramento.
This month we're collecting everyday essentials:
- Soap
- Shampoo
- Shaving needs
- Deodorant
- Toilet paper

Simple items can make a real difference. If you'd like to help, please bring donations to LRDC during June and July.
Whatever we need, our neighbors need too.

This Sunday, June 7th at 11:00 am:

The ta***ic path invites us to transform the way we see ourselves and the world. Ordinarily, we experience life through the lens of habit, fear, grasping, and limitation. We see ourselves as small, separate, and fixed. We see others through judgment, history, and projection. This is ordinary appearance. Deity yoga offers a sacred remedy.

In Vajrayana practice, the deity is not something outside of us to worship as separate. The deity represents awakened body, awakened speech, awakened mind, and the fully developed qualities of compassion, wisdom, courage, and skillful means. Through deity yoga, we learn to let go of our ordinary self-image and gradually recognize our deeper nature as inseparable from awakened mind.

Join us in the gompa on Friday, June 5th at 6:30 for the devotional practice of Medicine Buddha. We invoke the presence and blessings of the eight Medicine Buddhas to promote mental and physical healing and world peace. We dedicate the merit of our practice to beings experiencing physical or mental illness and to those who have passed away.

If you cannot attend in person, and wish to add a suffering loved one, human or animal, to the prayer list, please send their name and nature of their suffering to [email protected] by noon on Friday June 5th.
