Avalokiteshvara Guru Yoga Practice (Online)

Due to the Thursday evening practices for the next 49 days in honour of our dear and most kind guru, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the event is cancelled. WHEN:  CANCELLED APRIL 12 & MAY 19 LEVEL: One considers oneself as a Buddhist (has taken refuge).

Compassion, here, is simply the wish that all sentient beings be free of suffering. ~ An Open Heart, The Dalai Lama In this group practice, we will get together following the sadhana written by His Holiness Dalai Lama called “The Inseparability of the Spiritual Master and Avalokiteshvara”. The practice will be facilitated by a member of Lhagsam.

We will also include the mediation on the four immeasurables and tonglen.
