Pujas (chanted prayers) are an important element of our spiritual training. Practiced sincerely, they quieten our mind and help us to connect with enlightened beings in order to receive deep blessings. Below is the list of regular pujas we practice at Jampa Ling Kadampa Buddhist Centre. Please check the online calendar for the exact time of the puja. All pujas are free of charge and everybody is welcome.
“Chanting is very helpful for us. It helps us develop a happy mind of appreciation and faith.” Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Kangso (or ‘Melodious Drum’)
This monthly practice consists principally of prayers to our Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden. A Dharma Protector is an emanation of a Buddha or Bodhisattva whose main functions are to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from attaining spiritual realizations, and to gather the conditions needed for their practice. Dorje Shugden helps,
guides, and protects pure and faithful practitioners by granting blessings, increasing their wisdom, fulfilling their wishes and bestowing success on their virtuous activities. This practice includes a tsog offering, so you may bring a vegetarian food offering if you wish. (3.5 hours)
Liberation From Sorrow
At Kadampa Centres worldwide, the 8th day of the month is Tara Day. Tara is a female Buddha whose name means Rescuer; she is the embodiment of swift compassion. If we rely upon Tara sincerely and with strong faith, she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfill all our virtuous wishes. Everyone is welcome to join us for Tara’s chanted prayer practice, Liberation from Sorrow. (1 hour)
