This would be the final week of our Wesak celebration Programme. After this, Geshela and all the monks would return to India. We will be having a series of Pujas, at the end of the Programme on Sunday, we will be offering a FREE vegetarian Dinner to all members, friends and families.
The details of the programmes for the week are as follows
(1) Tara Puja
Date : Thursday, 9 June 2011
Time : 8.00pm
Venue : SDC
Notes on Tara Puja : There are many inner obstacles to our mental development, and these inner obstacles manifest into external obstacles. To be successful in our Dharma practice, and to actualize the path to Enlightenment, we need to rely on a special Buddha like Tara. Actions of the Buddha manifest in the form of Tara, to help sentient beings to successfully accomplish both temporary and ultimate happiness.
By doing practice of Tara, one can collect great deal of merit, avoid suffering and lower rebirth, quickly attain the Enlightenment and receive initiation from enumerable Buddhas. Blessing of Tara is specially effective and appropriate for a person, who got many virtuous missions to accomplish.
