DORJE KHADRO FIRE PUJA with GESHE GELEK on NEW YEAR'S EVE

Geshe Gelek leads the New Year's Eve Dorje Khadro Fire Puja at Kadampa Center this year!

Tuesday, December 31, from 7 - 8:30 pm (in person only)

Dorje Khadro Fire Puja is a powerful Mahayana purification practice.  Throughout the year, it is easy to make lots of mistakes with our body, speech, and mind, thereby creating harmful karmic seeds that will eventually ripen as suffering.  Our annual event offers an opportunity to go into the new year with a relatively clean slate. 

The event begins in the gompa and then transitions outside to the fire pits set up in the Center's parking lot.  Bring along your family and friends for this purification practice where we burn black sesame seeds (provided) which symbolize our past negative karmic actions.  Dress for being outside.  Everyone is welcome!
