2022 Dzogchen Buddha Path 74-Hour Global Buddha Vajrasattva Blessing Ceremony
Friday, Jan 14 through Monday, Jan 17, 2022 (Taiwan)
A Purification and Blessing Ceremony of the Noble Guru Buddha Vajrasattva
The first annual 2022 Dzogchen Buddha Path 74-Hour Global Buddha Vajrasattva Blessing Ceremony will commence at 12 PM on Friday, January 14, 2022 and conclude at 2 PM on Monday, January 17, 2022 (Taiwan Time). Registration is required.
Please join H.E. Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche and the International Dzogchen Buddha Path Sangha online for this auspicious winter full moon celebration of the purification power of renunciation and compassion. During this continuous 74-hour practice, we will offer to the Noble Guru Buddha Vajrasattva in order to purify the hearts and minds of the beings of this world and all universes.
Because the ongoing pandemic and other world crises require urgent response, we will gather online to combine the healing power of our minds! We will pray, practice and make offerings to overcome widespread sickness and suffering and to create peace, health, and happiness in this world.
Since this is our first online Buddha Vajrasattva Blessing Ceremony, please auspiciously gather family and friends for this extraordinary event!
Registration is required and sliding-scale admission fees include all members of the household. Funds raised during the event support the Dharma activities of the Holy Vajra Master and create tremendous merit for all who participate.
Even if you are unable to attend, you may participate by making donations or offerings.
This rare virtual event will be broadcast online as a webinar. You must register to have access and receive the link for participation.
Now, more than ever during the coronavirus pandemic, the powerfully focused Sangha practice is vital for purifying the harmful energy of negative thinking that proliferates as we face these complex problems. It also provides a means for the public to transform impermanent worldly resources into an inexhaustible source of merit. It is the aspiration of Dzogchen Shri Singha Foundation to raise $108,000 for future grand events and online programs for the benefit of all beings.
Especially for those who may not be able to attend the online Buddha Vajrasattva Blessing Ceremony, a donation made with pure intention to support its success is an extremely beneficial and worthwhile action. Those making offerings will have offerings made on their behalf during the three-day ceremony. Please consider contributing to the Buddha Vajrasattva Fund today.
