Offering to the Spiritual Guide
Chanted prayers with a food offering. Everyone welcome!
Heart Jewel
A special Guru yoga of Je Tsongkhapa combined with the condensed sadhana of his Dharma Protector and a short 20-minute mediation. This puja includes two practices revealed by the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri. The first is a special Guru yoga in which we visualize our Spiritual Guide as Je Tsongkhapa, who himself is a manifestation of Manjushri.
By relying upon this practice, we can purify negativity, accumulate merit, and receive blessings. In this way, we will naturally accomplish all the realizations of the stages of the path of Sutra and Tantra, and in particular we will attain a very special Dharma wisdom.
All pujas are free of charge and open to the public. No previous experience needed and you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend. Everyone is welcome!

Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog
Chanted Prayers, or pujas, are an important component of training in a spiritual life and are held at our Centre in Vancouver throughout the week. They help us to still our mind, connect with enlightened beings, and receive blessings.
Prayer booklets are available in the meditation room and can also be purchased in our bookstore. If you would like to make a monetary tsog offering you can do so by making a donation.
These prayers practices are free from charge and are available by live-stream for members . No previous experience needed and you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend. Everyone is welcome!
What is Wishfulfilling Jewel? An inspiring prayer practice to develop our wisdom, compassion and spiritual protection for the benefit of all living beings.
Wishfulfilling Jewel 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 prayers on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, and 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.
This practice includes a special tsog (or food) offering. Traditionally, those who wish, bring a vegetarian food offering.

Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog
Chanted Prayers, or pujas, are an important component of training in a spiritual life and are held at our Centre in Vancouver throughout the week. They help us to still our mind, connect with enlightened beings, and receive blessings.
Prayer booklets are available in the meditation room and can also be purchased in our bookstore. If you would like to make a monetary tsog offering you can do so by making a donation.
These prayers practices are free from charge and are available by live-stream for members . No previous experience needed and you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend. Everyone is welcome!
What is Wishfulfilling Jewel? An inspiring prayer practice to develop our wisdom, compassion and spiritual protection for the benefit of all living beings.
Wishfulfilling Jewel 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 prayers on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, and 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.
This practice includes a special tsog (or food) offering. Traditionally, those who wish, bring a vegetarian food offering.

Powa
Through practicing transference of consciousness, known as ‘powa’ with faith, compassion and concentration we can transfer the consciousness of those recently deceased to a higher rebirth or to the Pure Land of a Buddha. The ceremony can be done either by a group of practitioners or individually on behalf of one or more deceased persons, or countless deceased beings.
By engaging in this practice we also create a great collection of virtue, which will also lead us into the pathway to a Buddha’s Pure Land. Please let us know if a loved one has died and we can do this practice for them.
