DAILY PRACTICE
Dear Dharma friends,
We welcome everyone to join Daily Prayers and Practice dedicated for our beloved Garchen Rinpoche’s excellent health & long life.
Vajrasattva and Amitayus prayers from our Daily Prayers text will be included and the merit dedicated with great love for Garchen Rinpoche. Khenmo Tsechik & Lopön Gamtso will lead us in Buddha Amitayus prayers, along with Konchok Jigme leading us in prayers as well.
“By sincerely practicing these prayers and dedicating the merit, we pray that Garchen Rinpoche’s life may remain stable and long, free from obstacles, and that he may continue to benefit countless beings for many years to come.”
~Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche~

We are delighted to announce that Khenpo Molam, resident teacher of the White Lotus Buddhist Center in Rochester, NY, will be visiting Gar Drolma for a special two-weekend teaching!
Many of us had the good fortune to meet Khenpo Molam when he visited last year, and we’re overjoyed to now welcome him back in a teaching role.
Khenpo Molam will be teaching on Nagarjuna’s Letter to a Friend (Suhṛllekha), one of the great classical texts of Mahayana Buddhism, offering practical guidance on mindfulness, compassion and the path to liberation.
This program is ideal for those newer to Buddhism as well as those
more experienced practitioners.
~~For those attending local a lunch will be served at Gar Drolma~~.
