PRAYER LIST
If you would like to be added to our prayer list or add a loved one, please send us a request.    

BLESSINGS, PRAYERS, & PUJAS
Our Sangha are available for Blessings, Prayers, and Pujas.  They can be held at the Center, or you can invite the Sangha to your home, within the Bay Area.  The consecration of a house or other premise can help purify any obstacles and cleanse the surrounding environment in order to increase the likelihood of good fortune and health to those living there.  It can also help heal those in the home.  You may invite the Sangha to perform blessings for holy images, ritual objects and Dharma books, etc., as well as to fill holy objects with blessing prayers.  

Our Sangha can perform blessings for new born babies and similar ceremonies.  Our Sangha can also perform a large variety of personalized prayer services and pujas, such as pujas for health, swift assistance, long life and healing, wealth, removing obstacles, removing negative energies, the 49 days of prayers for the recently deceased, as well as other rites such as consecration of ash, tsa tsa etc.

CONSULTATIONS & PRACTICE DISCUSSIONS
Our teachers are available to meet privately to discuss your personal spiritual practice at the Center.  They are also happy to offer spiritual guidance in relation to your health, psychological well being, family, relationships, career, & business.  However, please note, this is not therapy.  They are neither licensed counselors nor financial planners.  It is merely to help you explore the spiritual dimension of life's issues and possibly offer you some suggestions, such as suggested mantras and meditations, etc.  They can also help with Tibetan astrological guidance, such as determining auspicious days for significant life events.  Please contact us to schedule.

Our services are currently offered free.  A donation is greatly appreciated.  Please note, the teachings suggest that at least a small donation helps create the necessary karmic connection to receive the benefit of these blessings.  A suggested donation, such as for a house visit, is a donation to the center and individual offerings to the attending monks and nuns, according to your ability.  Volunteering or offering a meal is also greatly appreciated.
