The Practice of Amitabha Recitation:
The Practice of Amitabha Recitation:
To aspire oneself for rebirth in the pure realm of Buddha Amitabha
by Lama Drimed Lodro
Sponsored by Shensem Tsogpa Tibetan Culture Center
Lama Drimed will lead us in the practice of Amitabha recitation. His Holiness Jigme Phongtsok Rinpoche had fervently aspired to spread this special practice for those who have unshakable faith in Dharma, and promised to show up in person during the intermediate state of bardo after death to guide the deceased practitioner on the path towards the pure realm. It is taught that whoever accomplishes 1,000,000 times of Amitabha recitation is guaranteed to reach the goal of taking rebirth in the pure realm. This is a skillful mean for practitioners who are preoccupied with worldly matters and have very limited time for practice. It is also extremely beneficial to the deceased families, friends, beloved pets or animals if one can recite for them at the time of their passing.
Time: February 12th, 2006 Sunday
2-5 p.m. (potluck from 5-7 p.m., followed by the ongoing Tibetan Class from 7-9 p.m.)
February 25th, 2006 Saturday 7~9 p.m. Tibetan Class
Place: 15456 Chelsea Dr., San Jose, CA 95124

The Avalokiteshvara Fire Puja :
The Avalokiteshvara Fire Puja :
Liberating oneself from all negative karma through offering of nourishment through scent & fire and dedication to the harm-causing spirits and goblins.
Lead by Lama Drimed Lodro
Sponsor by Shensem Tsogpa Tibetan Culture Center
Lama Drimed will lead us in the practice of this powerful Avalokiteshvara Fire Puja as an auspicious start for year 2006. This sadhana was composed by the All-Knowing Mipham Rinpoche out of his fervent aspiration to liberate sentient beings. He was inspired by a dream and immediately wrote down the insightful wisdom from the Sugatas and Bodhisattvas who had shown us the way to rid ourselves of karmic and demonic obstructions, and ultimately lead us towards realization. Especially at a time like this, when global epidemics such as AIDS, SARS, or the most recent Bird Flu are increasingly threaten our well-being, this practice is precisely the antidote to our sufferings.
Time: January 8th, 2006 Sunday
