About the Puja
Join us for a special Guru Puja to mark the anniversary of the passing of our precious guru Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Led by Geshe Samten
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.”
This puja will be in person only at Vajrayana Institute.
