DORJE KHADRO FIRE PUJA

Over the course of the year, it's easy to make lots of mistakes with our body, speech and mind. We create harmful karmic seeds from unskillful actions that will eventually ripen as suffering.

Kadampa Center's annual New Year's Eve Dorje Khadro Fire Puja, a powerful Mahayana purification practice, offers an opportunity to go into the new year with a relatively clean slate. Bring along family and friends for this fire puja practice where we burn black sesame seeds which symbolize our past negative karmic actions.  All are welcome!

We will have black sesame seeds available, however, feel free to bring your own, available at Asian grocery stores.

We will start with prayers in the gompa and then head outside to the fire. It's good to come by 7pm, while sesame seeds last.

This program is offered in-person only.

For an example of the practice and commentary by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, visit Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive.
