Ring in the New Year

Celebrate with Teaching, Prayer, & Treats

What better way to start to your new year than to engage in these powerful prayers to Tara, while enjoying the company of friends and community. Everyone welcome! 

Join us in this special method of Tara chanting to wrap the entire world in requests to Buddha Tara. We gather together to ask her to please take away our obstacles and help everyone find the happy, meaningful life they long for. Feel free to engage in all six sessions or just one… whatever you do will bring great benefit to you and others. 

This puja is recited six times in the 24-hour period.  We introduce the first session with a lovely teaching by our resident teacher, Gen Dorje, after which we will enjoy light treats and refreshments to celebrate New Year’s Eve.    

“In general, prayers made by an assembly of many practitioners are very powerful and cannot be compared to the prayers of one or two people. The scriptures give the analogy of a broom. If we try to clean a floor with a few bristles we shall make little progress, but if we gather many bristles to make a broom we shall be successful.”
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
