Annual Guru Dragpo Puja

 
Dear Sangha,
 
The annual Guru Dragpo puja at Ayang Rinpoche's monastery, Thupten Shedrub Jangchub Ling, begins January 24, 2016 and continues for 7 days through January 30, 2016. Guru Drakpo is practiced at the end of the year to dispel obstacles and purify any remaining negativities in order to usher in happiness and prosperity for the New Year (Losar), which is February 9th this year.

You may participate at home by reciting the Guru Dragpo short mantra:
OM AH HUNG ATSIK NIRTSIK NAMO BHAGAWATE HUNG HUNG AH HUNG HUNG PHAT//

You may also participate by reciting the Guru Rinpoche mantra (see below) or the Seven-Line Prayer to Guru Rinpoche. Click here for Ayang Rinpoche's teaching on the Seven-Line Prayer, and the prayer in Tibetan and English.
OM AH HUNG VAJRA GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG//

Ayang Rinpoche has said that anyone sponsoring Dharma activities gains the same merit as the practitioners. The full cost of the puja for 280 monks, nuns, khenpos and lamas is $21,650. Your donation of any amount will be appreciated and will be like a drop of water mixed in an ocean of merit. You may include a dedication for your offering in the name of a loved one, including pets. Donate online on our website, or send a check in USD made out to Amitabha Foundation to: P.O. Box 2572, Aptos, California 95001.

For donors who do not want the US tax deduction, here is the link to make offerings directly to the monastery's account through the Drikung Charitable Society.

Thank you, and may all beings benefit!
