For the Health of All DGCEC Remains Closed
Although we cannot see you in person, we have many ways to connect with you! Take a few moments to see what Compassion, Nonviolence and Meditation courses we are offering via Zoom.
In response to the COVID-19 healthcare crisis and since March 17, Geshe Rapgyal, Honorable Minyak Rinpoche, and Drepung Gomang monks have offered twice daily special prayers and rituals for healing and for all who have died.
We invite everyone of all traditions to commit to compassion practice during this time.
Connect in remotely during the prayer times through our Facebook Live posts (all days' prayers are posted)
For the most recent live recording
Dedication Prayer, March 31, concluding a 12-day intensive ritual and the creation of a Medicine Buddha Sacred Sand Mandala. These prayers were offered to ease the suffering of COVID-19 crisis around the globe, and were followed by prayers for all those who have died from the virus.
