Saka Dawa
The Saka Dawa month starts on Friday 5/10 to 6/08. In this month, one of the ways to accumulate merit is to make Water Offering to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Beginning this Sunday 5/20, you can come to Geden Shoeling Center to make Water Offering every day. Geshela Norbu has mentioned that we should do this as many times as possible. If you have time, you can even come a few times a day.
- If possible, please eat white food (no meat - vegetarian) for the whole Saka Dawa month. If not possible, please avoid eating meat the first half of the month. If not even possible, please avoid eating meat on Tuesday 6/2/2015.
- It is mentioned in the scriptures that the merit accumulated this month is multiplied many times.
June 02 2018 Fish Release At Marina Del Rey
Whenever we eat, walk, and breathe, we inadvertently harm beings. Although we cannot completely prevent killing others, we can cultivate mindfulness and try to reduce taking life as much as we can. In addition to this, we can promote the health, safety, and well-being of others through the practice of life release. "Life release" or "ransoming" (Tib. tse tar) is a Buddhist tradition of saving the lives of animals that are destined to be killed. By saving the lives of animals destined to be killed, we immediately benefit their health and longevity.
