“In general, prayers made by an assembly of many practitioners are very powerful and cannot be compared to the prayers of one or two people…Prayers made in front of such holy beings have great power to achieve their desired effect.” Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Chanted meditations, or pujas, are beautiful Buddhist spiritual practices that allow us to purify our negativities and gather powerful blessings of healing and good fortune from enlightened beings. This brings us ever deepening inner peace as our wisdom and compassion increase daily.

No experience is required; you can visit any prayers scheduled except for those marked HYT only.
