Dear Sangha and Dharma friends, Venerable Lama Tsang Tsing is going to India in mid-October of this year. He has not been able to travel to Asia in several years due to Covid restrictions. During this trip Lama-la plans to visit as many Monasteries and Lineage Lamas as possible and would like to give them all offerings on behalf of his western students. Because of Lama’s age and health this may be one of his last opportunities to do this. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to accumulate merit and to support and create a positive connection with our lineage holders. All of the donations that we make to Venerable Lama Tsang Tsing will be used entirely to make offerings on our behalf. Please donate as generously as you can and send your donations to Venerable Lama Tsang Tsing by the first of October. You may make your checks Continue Reading →

AMITABHA SPECIAL PUJA FOR DECEASED Free-will Donation SUNDAY MAY 12, 2024 KAGYU DAKSHANG CHULING917 East 43rd Avenue, Eugene, OR 97405(Between West Amazon and Fox Hollow)To minimize the Center’s impact on our neighborhood, please park on West Amazon and walk up hill to KDC. On Sunday, May 25, during the Memorial Day weekend, Venerable Lama Tsang Tsing and KDC’s western Lamas will perform a special, extensive Puja for the deceased. Ven.

This Puja is extremely helpful when performed for the benefit of one who has died. After dying, due to karma and habitual patterns, we have no control over our future rebirth, and we are driven by the power of our previous actions. This profound Puja purifies negativities and obscurations and liberates the Continue Reading →

Dear Dharma Friends, I hope this finds all of you in good health and that your Dharma Practice is going well. As many of you know, Losar, the Tibetan New Year, begins Thursday, March 3. Traditionally at this time KDC has held the annual all-day Mahakala Puja to dispel obstacles and negativities so the new year may begin in an auspicious manner. Unfortunately, this year KDC is not able to hold this event due to the on-going Corona Virus. Although we cannot gather together for this event, I would like to ask all of you who have received the Mahakala Empowerment to please perform Mahakala Puja at home on Mahakala Day, which is Tuesday, March 1, and to recite the Mahakala mantra throughout the day. I, myself, will be doing an all-day 6-Armed Mahakala Puja from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Mahakala Day. Also, I will be doing short Continue Reading →

Dear Dharma Friends, I have been thinking about all of you and I am wondering how you are doing during this unique and challenging time of ours.

I miss seeing you and doing Pujas together with you at KDC Dharma Center. I am doing extensive Practice in my home at this time for all beings, in particular for those who have died and for those who have been affected in any way due to the Corona virus.Each evening I do a special Puja for all deceased. For your benefit and the benefit of others, I would like to request that you Continue Reading →
