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.
