About the Puja
Join us to mark the anniversary of the passing of our precious guru Lama Zopa Rinpoche by Chanting the Names of Manjushri. Download the text here
This gives students a powerful opportunity to commemorate Rinpoche’s life, remember and celebrate his unbelievable kindness, pray for his return, and dedicate themselves to fulfilling Rinpoche’s wishes on this occasion.
As a reminder, Advice for the Anniversary of the Guru’s Passing Away is a short text translated by Rinpoche that explains the importance of making offerings on the anniversary of one’s guru’s passing. It sets out the benefits of making offerings, how to make the offerings with six remembrances, and how to offer and dedicate the roots of virtue collected.
As Rinpoche himself explained,
“Making offerings on the death anniversary of a guru is an incredible practice in that it brings about the greatest purification of negative karma and collects the most extensive merit.”
