this week's meditations and events
MAHAYANA DAY
Monday July 26, Center open all day, vows 6:00-6:45 am
The eight Mahaya vows, or precepts, are taken for twenty-four hours, beginning at 6 am, usually on full and new moon days. Taking the vows helps us strongly maintain the bodhisattva practice in our lives, reinforcing our determination to become enlightened for the sake of all beings.
Geshe Jampa will offer the vows at 6 am to those who want to participate in the full day of precepts. However, everyone is welcome to come to the Center anytime during the day and spend time relaxing and meditating with Emaho friends.
CHENREZIG MEDITATION
Monday July 26, 7-7:45 pm
Chenrezig is the bodhisattva of great compassion. Chanting his mantra, Om mani padme hum, removes our selfish attitudes and invokes the spirit of universal compassion for all sentient beings.
BODHICITTA MEDITATION
