                                                  Chanted Meditations

                                                  The chanted meditations at the centre, known as ‘pujas’, help us to develop and maintain a positive mind, and are a powerful preparation for meditation. 

                                                  They are special methods for purifying negativity (negative mental energy), accumulating merit (positive mental power), and receiving inspiration.


                                                  All sessions are free (donations welcome)...

                                                  An explanation of each of the chanted meditations at the centre are as follows:

                                                  Heart Jewel  
                                                  A Guru yoga practice of Je Tsongkhapa combined with meditation on the path to enlightenment (Lamrim) and prayers to the Dharma Protector.

                                                  Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog
                                                  This is very similar to Heart Jewel but includes more extensive prayers to the Dharma Protector and also includes a Tsog offering (see below).

                                                  Melodious Drum (with Tsog) 
                                                  A Guru yoga practice of Je Tsongkhapa combined with extensive prayes to the Dharma proctector Dorje Shugden.

                                                  Dakini Yoga
                                                  A Guru Yoga practice combined with brief meditations specially arranged for those who have received a Vajrayogini Empowerment.

                                                  Offering to the Spiritual Guide (with Tsog) 
                                                  A special Guru yoga of Je Tsongkhapa that is related to Highest Yoga Tantra, and forms a preliminary practice for Vajrayana Mahamudra.

                                                  What is a Tsog puja?
                                                  Tsog offering pujas are ceremonies that involve making offerings to the Buddhas in conjunction with prayers and meditation. They are an excellent method for accumulating merit, purifying negativity and receiving blessings.
