Saka Dawa Duchen, one of the four great holy days in the Tibetan calendar, marks pivotal moments in the life of Shakyamuni Buddha—each a powerful display of enlightened activity for the benefit of all sentient beings. On this sacred day, the merit generated by virtuous actions is said to be magnified 300 million times.

The Medicine Buddha represents an extremely powerful form of enlightened energy. The practices of Medicine Buddha are efficacious in healing and helping one to accomplish one’s goals successfully and can be of benefit to someone who is ill or who has died.

According to Tibetan Buddhism, the root of our struggle lies in four subtle, yet powerful misperceptions: we see what is impermanent as lasting, what is unsatisfactory as fulfilling, what is impure as beautiful, and what is selfless as solid and real. These “four wrong concepts” quietly shape how we relate to our lives, our relationships, and ourselves. To counteract these, the Buddha offered four profound insights known as the Four Seals. In this course, we gently bridge these two—moving from distorted perception to liberating insight—exploring how correcting these four deep misunderstandings through an understanding of the four seals transforms not just our thinking, but our heart.

Join us each Thursday morning from May 17th - Nov 1st as the North American Region participates in the FPMT Global Mani Retreat with a short, powerful 45-minute collective practice. The group session includes Chenrezig practice and recitation of Mani Mantras.

This is a precious opportunity for FPMT students, staff, and volunteers across North America to gather in unity, generating collective merit and deepening our regional community bonds while contributing to the Vast Vision of Lama Zopa Rinpoche to accumulate 100 Million Mani Mantras.

Be part of the worldwide effort to celebrate FPMT’s 50th anniversary and create the causes and conditions for Rinpoche’s swift return and the fulfillment of all his holy wishes.

Puja is an essential practice in the Tibetan lineage of Buddhism and a powerful way to cultivate merit, purify negativities, and deepen our connection with the Three Jewels. At Ocean of Compassion Buddhist Center, pujas such as Medicine Buddha Puja, Cittamani Tara Puja, and Lama Chopa with Tsog are offered regularly to support the community’s spiritual growth.

This course offers a clear and approachable introduction to the meaning, purpose, and methods of Buddhist puja—both in group settings and at home.

The Medicine Buddha puja purifies and heals on all levels: physical, mental, spiritual, and environmental. Medicine Buddha is the manifestation of the healing energy of all enlightened beings. Prayers to Medicine Buddha are especially powerful because of the extensive prayers they made to benefit us sentient beings. It is considered particularly powerful for people who are sick or have recently died and for bringing both temporal success and the ultimate success of enlightenment.

Join Venerable Angie online as she leads practices for the celebration of Chötrul Düchen, the day of miracles, for Shantideva Center in New York. Practices will include Confession to the 35 Buddhas, Shakyamuni Buddha Puja, Long Life Prayer for His Holiness, and The Swift Return Prayer for Lama Zopa RInpoche.

Many of the great masters have said that doing Long Life Prayer for your Guru is the best way to accumulate merit and purification practice. We think this is not late, but rather a very good time to do these Long Life Prayers as both His Holiness and Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche are involved in so many dharma activities, and teachings and they are in their older years.
