Medicine Buddha Puja

Every Month – 10:00 am to 11:30 am

Dedicated to healing and removing obstacles – for yourself and others.

Everyone is welcome!

Most commonly this puja is performed to assist in the recovery of illness, or an operation. It is also done to achieve higher rebirth for the deceased.
The Medicine Buddha Puja can be performed extensively, with the requests to Medicine Buddhas done seven times to each of the Buddhas.
Additional prayers are said for the dedication of the merit.
By creating extensive merit through the performance of the puja, Medicine Buddha puja is also very helpful to bring success in all activities, for example work related.

If you have any questions about this puja or would like to dedicate this puja to a person in need, please email meditate@chandrakirti.co.nz

Sponsorship for this puja is most welcome – see here.

Guru puja (Lama Chöpa) is a practice of making offerings and requests to all the Buddhas and holy beings, but especially the root guru, who, according to the teachings, is the root of the path to liberation. Traditionally we do offerings to the Sangha. If you wish to dedicate the puja to the spiritual teachers or loved ones in need of support and prayers, please do let us know. We practice Guru Puja every month and is open to public.
Please bring a food offering – preferably something baked / fruit / something avoiding plastic. Thank you!

Tara Puja

Female manifestation of Buddha’s Omniscient mind, Tara. During a Tara Puja we recite 21 Tara’s prayer.
The actions of all the buddhas have manifested in the aspect of Tara, to grant the wishes of us beings. Hence it is very important for us to pray to her. Because of her great compassion and love for all sentient beings, if we pray to her with great sincerity and faith, taking refuge in and relying on her completely, she can definitely help eliminate hindrances and bring success in spreading the pure teachings of the Buddha.
Join us if you are a practitioner or not. All welcome!
