Weekly Chanted Prayers (Ongoing)
CHANTED PRAYERS ARE OFFERED VIA ZOOM
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pray and in the face of COVID-19 and numerous other sufferings. Our Center continues to offer our prayers and dedications to those who need it the most.
SMC invites all of its members, friends, and benefactors to join us either from home for chanted prayers on the following days and times.
All Prayers are Free.
HEART JEWEL PRAYERS
Wednesdays | 5:45 - 6:30pm
Heart Jewel is the heart essence of Kadampa Buddhism and many Kadampas do these prayers as part of their daily practice. Buddhas or enlightened beings can appear or emanate as anything, and especially as teachers and as protectors; and in this practice we pray to and rely upon the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri in both these ways.
You can download a copy of the Heart Jewel Prayers here.

Through our connection with Buddha Tara, she will provide us with all of the necessary conditions for our growth along our spiritual path.

This is a special Guru Yoga of Je Tsongkhapa in conjunction with Highest Yoga Tantra that is a preliminary practice for Vajrayana Mahamudra. The main practice is relying upon our Spiritual Guide as a Buddha and making praises and requests, but it also includes all the essential practices of the stages of the path and training the mind, as well as both the generation stage and completion stage of Highest Yoga Tantra. By relying upon Je Tsongkhapa our compassion, wisdom, and spiritual power naturally increase.
• Dedication requests on behalf of those that are sick and the recently deceased can be emailed to sldickens1@comcast.net

This practice is the heart essence of Kadampa Buddhism. In the first part we visualize our Spiritual Guide as Je Tsongkhapa and make prayers and requests to purify negativity, accumulate merit, and receive blessings. This prepares our mind for a twenty-minute meditation on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment. After the meditation we make prayers to our Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden. Through this we can overcome obstacles to our practice and create favorable conditions so that we can nurture and increase our pure Dharma realizations.
Everyone is Welcome.
