Join us for a puja with a difference - a celebration of Padmasambhava, an historical but also mythical figure, key to the establishment of Buddhism in Tibet, and credited with establishing the first Buddhist monastery there. The legendary 8th century Indian master of Buddhist tantra was a fiery figure, and he needed to be to overcome the obstacles he faced.
And ... with the weather getting warmer, and the pandemic less prominent, we think it's also time for a simple shared meal of dahl and rice before the Puja.
6pm - Join us for some food and conversation if you would like to
7pm - Puja starts
Puja - devotional ritual - is an opportunity to let go into the beauty of the shrine, mantra, offerings and collective, active practice. Open to everyone - if you're new, feel free to simply participate to the degree you wish to.
