Guru Rinpoche Day Message, April 18, 2024
"In the Buddha, Dharma, and Supreme Assembly, I take refuge until I attain enlightenment.  In order to accomplish my own and other's aims, I invite all beings to be my guests.  I shall carry out the supreme delightful actions of a Bodhisattva.  May I attain enlightenment in order to benefit all beings."

Excerpt from the Daily Confession from the Vajrapañjara Tantra

Ngondro
Guru Yoga tsok
Shakyamuni Buddha
Chenrezig

I would like you to alternate the practices. This will help you to build our Dharma community and support each other's practices so you can grow together as Dharma brothers and sisters."  – Sogan Rinpoche, 11/3/13, Oakland, CA
