2012 EVENTS

7th Annual Protector Retreat 2012

with Lama Tempa, Lama Gyaltsen, Lama Lodu Zangpo and Nyungne Lama

January 3 (Tuesday) Torma Day making flour offering tormas with the lamas

January 4 (Wednesday) through 8  (Sunday)  Mahakala Drup Tab, Hayagriva, White Mahakala, Palden Lhamo, Vajrasattva, and Five Deities Sadhanas

First session:  6.00am to 9.00am.   Second session: 10.00am to 1.00pm.   Third session: 3.00pm to 6.30pm

Same schedule for all five days; the public may sit in for any length of time and absorb the blessings, though we do recommend staying for a whole session as a sign of respect to the lamas and to the dharma.

                        During this five day ceremony, our lamas will lead us in Tibetan Buddhist practices to dispel obstacles and create auspicious conditions for the new year.  All are invited to donate food, help or money (recommended $20 per day) to sponsor this event and thus accumulate great merit.

Through this practice:

a)  Pacify sickness, hindrances, and troubles.
b)  Increase life, good qualities and wisdom.
c)  Attract whatever Dharma practitioners need and bring people to the Dharma.

d)  Destroy confusion, doubt, and ignorance.

at our Hilo location, 1334 Wailuku Dr.
