In Celebration of the
Year of the Iron Mouse

Please join us in the celebration of the Tibetan New Year!  
 
We will do the Putri Reg Pung Vajrakilaya practice as a means of removing obstacles,  purifying obscurations and creating auspicious circumstances for the upcoming New Year. Keith LaCoste, Tashi Choling's umdze, will be leading the chants.  
 
Also, this year, we have the good fortune to have Lama Chonam in attendance. He will give a teaching on this practice at the beginning of the afternoon session each day.  
 
On Losar, Feb. 24, Lama Drimed will lead us in the  
Shower of Blessings puja and tsog.

As this will be an annual Vajrakilaya retreat, we encourage participants to purchase these practices for their own use, as there will be a very limited number of copies available for loaners.  Having your own practice text will allow you to make notations regarding the practice, and will help deepen your understanding of the sadhana. A limited number of copies will be available for purchase through ODD's bookstore.
