Please join us for this special session of Prayers for World Peace, when we remember the great kindness of Je Tsongkhapa, the great 14th century Tibetan Buddhist Master, who developed Kadampa Buddhism.

This session will include a breathing meditation, the beautiful Prayers for World Peace and a final meditation.

Offering to the Spiritual Guide, or Lama Chopa in Tibetan, is a special Guru yoga of Je Tsongkhapa in conjunction with Highest Yoga Ta**ra. It was compiled by the first Panchen Lama, Losang Chokyi Gyaltsen, as a preliminary practice for Ta***ic Mahamudra. The main practice is meditation on reliance upon our Spiritual Guide, but it also includes all the essential practices of the stages of the path (Lamrim) and training the mind (Lojong), as well as both the generation and completion stages of Highest Yoga Ta**ra. By relying on our Spiritual Guide as one with Je Tsongkhapa, our compassion, spiritual power, and especially our wisdom will naturally increase. A complete commentary to this practice can be found in Great Treasury of Merit.

Are you at a loss as to how to help our world? Don’t be! Be part of a real peace initiative, learning practical meditations that will remove the causes of conflict and bring happiness and healing to yourself and others. We are not separate from our world; each of us influences this planet and everyone on it.

In these uncertain times, it is so important to learn to meditate because the bigger our heart the more difference we will make. One of the extraordinary qualities of the mind is its power to create. It is more urgent than ever to ask "What does fear create?”, "What does love create?” And then ask ourselves, "What am I creating, moment by moment?" We'll gradually learn to dissolve "Us" and "Them" and harness our immense power to bring goodness into the world, and to create the world we long for.

Illness often arrives uninvited, disrupting our lives and plans. Yet within its difficulty lies a profound opportunity for awakening. This course invites participants to explore illness—not as a detour from the spiritual path, but as part of the path itself.
Through teachings, guided reflections, and shared inquiry, we’ll examine how physical and mental suffering can open the heart, deepen compassion, and reveal the impermanence and interconnection at the core of spiritual life. We’ll engage illness as a teacher—one that strips away illusion, humbles the ego, and brings us closer to truth.
Whether you’re navigating illness personally, supporting others in their healing, or simply wish to prepare your heart for what life inevitably brings, this course offers a space for transformation and meaning.

This special chanted prayer practice, known as Lama Chopa in Tibetan, is done in our centers and temples all over the world on the 10th and 25th of every month. This puja is an opportunity to make many offerings from our heart and request inspiration and insight from our Spiritual Guide so that we can attain realizations of all the stages of the path, the six perfections, and generation and completion stage Ta**ra. It expresses our wish to become a Buddha ourselves so we can help everyone attain the state of freedom and happiness.

We will explore the beautiful prayer practice called Heart Jewel which increases our wisdom, compassion and spiritual power and prepares us to engage in three types of meditation — lamrim, lojong and mahamudra — and we’ll introduce Je Tsongkhapa’s poem, “3 Principal Aspects of the Path”, as a framework for this series.
