Offering Our Faith

Each and every day we remember the special kindness of Venerable Geshe-la, our Root Guru and Founder of the New Kadampa Tradition. However, on this auspicious day, with joyful gratitude we offer our faith through reciting the special prayer, Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso from his Faithful Disciples, and by collecting recitations of our Guru's name mantra.

Everyone is welcome to any or all of these events.

We will start Sunday morning with The Sunday Morning drop in class about the life of Venerable Geshe Kelsang, from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm, taught by Gen Choma.

This will be followed (after a lunch break-on your own) by 2 sessions of a self-guided retreat using the sadhana, The Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land According to Highest Yoga Tantra, and the special request prayer.

In late afternoon the retreat will conclude with Offering to the Spiritual Guide chanted prayers.

What to expect:
Talk on the life of Venerable Geshe Kelsang 11am - 12pm
2 retreat sessions in the afternoon
Offering to the Spiritual Guide chanted prayers
While this is an advanced retreat, everyone is welcome, including beginners
