Of all the practices, the main thing is meditation on the lam-rim, to have lam-rim realizations, tantric practice is secondary.

The Kindness of Others

 by Geshe Jampa Tegchok:

The kind of life we presently have is so exceptional that even the gods who appear to have extraordinarily good fortune, actually have nothing like the good fortune that we do because they have no opportunity to practice Dharma.

 

 

We invite you to help to make these wonderful teachings available to many others. Drop by our centre or write a cheque payable to "Amitabha Buddhist Centre", indicating that it is for Free Publication Fund. For online donation, click here.  Any amount is welcome. Thank You.

Shakyamuni Buddha Puja on

Merit-Multiplying Day

Sat 25 May, 7.30pm, ABC Level 2

Bodhgaya Budhha  

10 May  to 8 June 13 marks the fourth month on the Tibetan calendar - Saka Dawa, a time considered by Tibetans to be auspicious for Dharma practice. Throughout this period, the merit of any virtuous deed is multiplied by 100,000 times.

    

25 May 13 marks the full moon day (15th) of Saka Dawa, commemorating the Buddha's birth, enlightenment and parinirvana, according to the Tibetan calendar. All merit created on this day is multiplied by 100 million times as cited in the Vinaya text, Treasure of Quotations and Logic.  

 

Do join us at 7.30pm at ABC Level 2 for Shakyamuni Buddha puja on this auspicious day.

 

All are welcome!

 

  

Exclusive for Vesak 2013:

Namgyalma Nano Pendant

  

 

For the first time ever, using nano technology, we have engraved the below Namgyalma mantra (measuring 5 metre x 5 metre in its regular size), onto small discs and made them into pendants so that they can be worn.

 

Advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche:

"The Namgyalma mantra is extremely powerful and is the main mantra to purify and liberate beings from the lower realms, purify negative karma..."

 

 

 The long Namgyalma Mantra in its regular size measures 5 metres x 5 metres

 

 

Left: Small disc (dia. 17mm), plain, engraved with 300 Namgyalma Mantras

Right: Big disc (dia. 24mm), plain, engraved with 1000 Namgyalma Mantras 

 

The picture above shows the silver discs, plain, 18k white gold-plated. We also have them in:

 

-Silver disc, with zirconia stones on the rim, 18k white gold-plated

-Gold (24k) disc, plain, 18k yellow gold-plated
