Practice Day Schedule

General
Each month there are days set aside in the Tibetan calendar which are auspicious for specific practices. It's very helpful for Milarepa Center and its community to do these practices whenever possible. Group practice leads to a greater sense of  overall harmony. These practices lend benefit in clearing obstacles to different activities (Tara Puja), for healing (Medicine Buddha Puja), and for overall center health and harmony (Tsog, etc.). We invite you to join us for the various rituals or pujas we have scheduled. These practice days are open to all levels of practitioners. It's very easy to participate; you don't need to know the practices in advance as we have practice booklets available. It's nice to bring abundant offerings that can be set up on the altar and shared with others such as fruit, chips, pretzels, and any other snacks you enjoy. Flowers are always welcome.

Tara Puja—Four Mandala Offerings to Cittamani Tara is a great way to clear out obstacles to work, relationships, and general disharmony in your life.

Milarepa Tsog—A tsog is an offering ceremony that represents assembling all of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in a visualization of a sacred dance. Those practicing highest yoga tantra normally have a commitment to do this practice twice each month. All are welcome.

Lama Chopa Tsog—The Lama Chopa practice is a profound Guru Yoga practice that connects us more deeply to the inspiration of the buddhas.

Medicine Buddha Puja—A tremendous healing practice, Medicine Buddha is seen as the King of Doctors. This practice can be enormously helpful for your own illness or perfect to participate with someone else in mind.
