Prayers to Control Earthquakes

Sunday, November 16
2:00pm – 3:00pm

On the advice of Lama Zopa Rinpoche we will be doing the following prayers:
  • Ksitigarbha Practice
  • Tea Offering to 8 Worldly Gods (Degyä)
  • Prayer called “Controlling Earthquakes”

This is to prevent and help control possible future earthquakes in the area.

Everybody is welcome to attend!

This is a free event.  Donations are appreciated.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche also took on the responsibility to build a stupa to minimize harm from the elements.  He explains:
“This is a very important project that we have started, it has incredible importance. We all know there will be another earthquake on the west coast of the USA, it is overdue and it could be a huge earthquake where so many people could die and there could be huge damage to buildings, houses and structures. There is also the danger of a tsunami and the serious effects that will have.

“If people were told it was going to happen beforehand, in many cases it would be hard for them to believe. In many respects the mind is not familiarized in the nature of impermanence and karma, or in change that is happening all the time: rising and ceasing, birth and death, collecting and dispersing. Everything is continuously in a state of change but mostly we are unaware and when it happens it is a great shock and surprise.”  More …
