Traditionally, the Guru Puja is celebrated on the 10th and 25th days of the Tibetan calendar.
This puja lasts around 2 hours and consists of the recitation of a sadhana, visualisations and prayers, including taking refuge and generating bodhicitta. Mantras, praises and requests are also usually recited.
We will have some very special guests!
Phuntsok Rinpoche (the reincarnation of Geshe Lama Konchog), Rigsel Rinpoche (the reincarnation of the beloved abbot of Kopan Monastery, Khensur Rinpoche Lama Lhundrup Rigsel) and Rinzen Rinpoche (the reincarnation of a great practitioner from the Tsum area, close to Lama Konchog).
We also welcome the Kopan monks, the Pre-Ordination Course participants with freshly ordained sangha and the students from the Introduction to Buddhism course!
Everyone is welcome to join the pujas at Tushita!
You may participate at whatever level you feel comfortable: simply observing or reciting along with the group. Just come and see!
