Today’s the day!!!!! 🎊🎊🎊

We are so excited to open our gates today at 3pm to kick off the Prayers For Compassion Festival!

For those of you who are coming for the first time or haven't visited the temple in a while - have no fear!

We are honored to welcome you.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask one of our members, we're easy to spot because we'll be dressed in maroon robes! 📿

While a Buddhist Temple may seem intimidating to some, all that we ask is you remove any shoes or hats before entering and sit quietly with us.

Please avoid getting up and wondering around the temple and please do not touch any of the Buddhist relics on display. 🙅🏾‍♂️

Outside of the temple you are welcome to chit-chat, walk around and explore our space!

Friendly reminder that you can catch all of our session via zoom!!!

DM or email us to grab the zoom link and hit us with ANY questions you have about this weekend’s festivities! 🎊📿♥️🙏🏻

A message from Thupten Rinpoche (aka Lama Jerry) 🌺

“Loving-kindness, May All sentient beings be happy and meet with its causes.
May All sentient beings be liberated from suffering and its causes.
Recite the Mantra of Compassion, setting in place, the cause and result of Loving-kindness and Compassion.
I vow to practice this for the benefit of All sentient beings.
Loving-kindness and Compassion are the keys to the Door of change.
Peace, Harmony and Joy.
Be Kind.
Rinpoche 🙏🌺📿🙏”

We are getting ready to open our doors for the big Prayers for Compassion Festival beginning on Friday, July 8th at 3pm!

Chenrezig Empowerment with Rinpoche begins at 6:30pm and all are welcome 📿🪷

If you want to learn or brush up on your Chenrezig practice, join us in the gonpa at 6:30 on Friday night to have teachings and empowerments with Rinpoche.

ALL are welcome here and this event is totally FREE!
We have set the goal of accumulating 1 million Mani mantras (Om mani padme hung) for the sake of bringing beneficial blessings to all beings during this time.

That means we will need your help! All of the times listed as “puja” are opportunities through out the weekend for you to come and sit with us in prayer and help us to reach that goal! 🙏🏻
