Guru Puja according to the NgalSo lineage of Lama Gangchen Rinpoche
Meditation and recitation ritual
The Guru Puja is a traditional meditation and recitation ritual of invocation and offerings to the spiritual guide, all the holy beings and all sentient beings. It is one of the most important practices of Tibetan Buddhism. In addition to being a comprehensive and excellent tool for spiritual development, its practise is an excellent method for pacifying negativities and incresing positive qualities and energies. The Guru Puja practice is performed daily in AHMC, and is dedicated to inner and world peace. During the tsog an offering prayer – ghanachakra – is recited 108 times. Lama Gangchen Rinpoche initiated this daily recitation dedicated for world peace right after the events in New York on the 11th of September 2001. Since then, the mantra has been recited over six million times. The Guru Puja a joyful celebration in which everyone can participate; a compendium of teachings of the Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions. Other than the dedication for world peace there are special dedications every day for those who request them and in particular for the particpants of the Generosity Garden. The text is available in the temple or can be purchased from the shop.
The Dharma is precious and has no price. Therefore, in accordance with tradition, an offering can be made for this activity according to each person’s possibilities and choice.

Retreat of Vajrayogini: The Quick Path to Great Bliss
The practice of Vajrayogini, one of the most important of the Mahanuttara Yoga Tantra, the highest class of Tantra, is considered one of the most powerful of all Buddhist Tantric meditations. Buddha emanated Vajrayogini, a special female enlightened being, 2500 years ago. She is the female counterpart of Heruka, the Lord of the Heroes, and she teaches us how to attain enlightenment through purifying our female essence, our dakini nature. It is an excellent antidote against limitless attachment and greed and the realisations brought about by it’s practice can lead to Enlightenment in a single lifetime.

To do the retreat you must have already received in the past the Vajrayogini empowerment.

LET’S MAKE THE WORLD’S LARGEST HUMAN PEACE FLAG TOGETHER
As part of the Rodari Festival, we’re coming together to create a collective, colorful, and universal gesture.
Not against anyone.
But together, for everyone.
One great flag made of people, to affirm that no division is stronger than the desire to meet, get to know one another, and walk together.
Different peoples. Different stories. One humanity.
Because peace isn’t just an idea: it’s the courage to stand together. 🌍🌈
