Wonderful, indeed, it is to subdue the mind, so difficult to subdue, ever swift and seizing whatever it desires. A tamed mind brings happiness

Teachings on Lamp for the Path of Enlightenment By Ven. Shangpa Rinpoche

Teachings on the Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment by Atisha will commence again on 9th May 2008 (Fri) 8 pm to 10 pm. The class after that would be on 16th May 2008 (Fri) 8 pm to 10 pm.

Due to the upcoming events such as His Holiness the 17th Karmapa's Birthday Celebration and the Mani Dungdrub Project, teachings on meditation will be postponed till a further date.

The text integrates all the teachings of Buddha into a step-by-step practice and sets forth the entire Buddhist path in 68 four-line verses, distilling the essence of all the teachings of the Buddha into a clear, progressive arrangement that makes it easy for any individual to understand and practice the Dharma.

Mani Dungdrub Retreat 亿遍嘛呢大法会
Universal Mantra of Compassion 法界慈悲之音
100 Million Recitations of Om Mani Padme Hung
持诵一亿遍嗡嘛呢呗咩吽

19th May 2008 to 18th June 2008
Mani Dungdrub Retreat

In today's world where uncertainty and sufferings abound, the 5th Mani Dungdrub project organized by KKBCS under the guidance of Ven. Shangpa Rinpoche, will be conducted between the Chinese Lunar Vesak on the 19th of May 2008 and the Tibetan Vesak on the 18th of June 2008. Merits accumulated will be dedicated towards world peace and harmony as well as the happiness and well being of all sentient beings.

普观现今充满着灾难及无常的世间,中心再次在尊贵的香巴仁波切的领导下在农历卫塞节以及西藏卫塞节之间举办第五届的 "亿遍嘛呢大法会"届时所累积的功德将回向于世界和平及一切众生离苦得乐。

During the auspicious month of Vesak, , practice is strongly emphasized as it is believed that the effect of every virtuous action will be multipled many million times. Each syllable of the mantra cuts the causes and conditions to be reborn in one of the six realms. It is said that, "the sands of the Ganges and the drops of water in the ocean can be counted, but the merits of reciting this mantra just one time cannot be counted".

在卫塞节的吉祥月里,大家都该强调修法,因为据说于此月修任何善业所累积之功德皆将增盛几百万倍。 持诵六字大明咒能唤起观世音菩萨的大悲加持力,净化烦恼及解脱六道之苦。每个咒字能断除投生于各个相应六道的因缘。 持诵六字大明咒的功德是不可思议的。经云:恒河沙粒及大海水滴可数尽,唯诵此心咒一遍其功徳不可限量。 

There will be a Nyungne Retreat conducted by Khenpo Tsultrim from 20th to 23rd June 2008 to end this auspicious event. Those who had registered for the Nyungne Retreat in February need not register again.
