Celebration of Lama Caroline’s birthday

A Guru Puja dedicated to Lama Caroline’s long life, the fulfilment of her virtuous wishes, and the success of all her precious activities, tirelessly dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of the NgalSo Self-Healing practices and Lama Gangchen Rinpoche’s teachings on Non-Formal Education for Inner Peace.

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.
