And the virtue of this aspiration,
May I and all others achieve Buddhahood.”

Prayer for the Recently Deceased
In Tibetan Buddhism, death is an extremely important event. For 49 days after the departing of a person, the monks will pray daily for the deceased to experience a smooth journey through the Bardo and to achieve a rebirth in the high realms. The Phowa prayers are extremely powerful as they purify the deceased of their negative Karma. Prayers are dedicated to Dorje Sempa Buddha, Medicine Buddha and to Amitabha Buddha.
Help Create a New Dharma Center in California!
Nowadays, at the challenging time, when the precious Dharma teaching is like a sun that is vanishing in the midst of cloud. H.E. Sonam Tenzin Rinpoche works tirelessly to establish Dharma Centers with a great ambition that Buddha’s teachings can conquer every single corner of the world to bring the light of Dharma to the most suffering sentient beings.
