Chanted Prayers: Offering to the Spiritual Guide (OSG)
Chanted Prayers: Offering to the Spiritual Guide (OSG)
March 10, 2026 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
In celebration of Heruka Day this OSG will include commentary and guided meditations. ODG is a special Guru Yoga of Je Tsongkhapa in conjunction with Highest Yoga Tantra that is a preliminary practice for Vajrayana Mahamudra. The main practice is relying upon our Spiritual Guide as a Buddha and making praises and requests, but it also includes all the essential practices of the stages of the path and training the mind, as well as both the generation stage and completion stage of Highest Yoga Tantra. By relying upon Je Tsongkhapa our compassion, wisdom, and spiritual power naturally increase.
We engage in Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers on the 10th and 25th of every month. Participants are welcome to bring a vegetarian food offering.

Chanted Prayers: Quick Path to Great Bliss
Chanted Prayers: Quick Path to Great Bliss
March 15, 2026 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
This extensive self-generation practice of Vajrayogini is a translation of the sadhana—ritual prayers for spiritual attainments—composed by Je Phabongkhapa. By relying on this practice sincerely, with a good heart and a mind of faith, it is definitely possible to attain full enlightenment; but to accomplish such results we must practice this sadhana regularly. To practice the sadhana successfully we should first receive the empowerment of Vajrayogini (Highest Yoga Tantra), and then study authentic instructions on the practice such as those found in the commentary New Guide to Dakini Land.
