As we are a community of Buddhists, a sangha, we come together on auspicious days to pray. The centre has texts in English for all of these prayer sessions, pujas, except for the protector prayers that are made by Lama Rabsang on the 29th of each lunar month, and if you would like to attend the protector prayers then that would be a good time to meditate on the Four Thoughts.
During prayers to Milarepa on full moons there is a feast offering (tsok), so if you would like to bring things to offer such as flowers, candles, food, (biscuits, cake, fruit, etc), and incense, then that is appropriate. It will be shared out during the ceremony.
If you are not Buddhist but would like to attend to see what it is like, you are welcome. If you would like to begin to learn how to do it yourself, and for the whole sangha to generate a sense of community we suggest attending the weekly Chenrezig prayers on Sundays 4pm-5pm.
