Dharani literature has existed for over two millennia in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Widespread around the world and especially in the Nepalese Buddhist community, Dharanis are typically used to prevent misfortune, remove obstacles, heal and protect. Dharanis are also used in life cycle rituals and other practices.
To keep this practice alive, we are going to practice every Tuesday at 6pm, please come and join us. It’s free.

Chanting 167 Verses of Manjusri (Namasangiti)
The Nama-samgiti is considered amongst the most advanced teachings given by the Shakyamuni Buddha Nama-samgiti was preached by Shakyamuni Buddha for his disciple Vajrapani and his wrathful retinue in order to lead them into Buddha-hood The essence of the Nama-samgiti is that Manjushri bodhisattva is the embodiment of all knowledge. The Nama-samgiti is a short text, only circa 167 verses and a prose section. It is a fraction of the vast Sutra. The Nama-samgiti contains all of the Buddha’s dharmas. Therefore, all sentient beings should definitely study and recite the manjushri-nama-samgiti.
Vihara has Vacancy for Pujaries
As you know, our vihara has been doing daily puja in the temple since it’s establishment, 365 days a year. It has been 14 years with out missing a day.
Over time some pujaris have moved away or their circumstances have changed, so that now there is a vacancy for some days. If you want to learn to do the ritual, we will be training individuals one-on-one by appointment in the morning at 8am on weekdays and on weekends at 9am. This is a volunteer opportunity. It is especially good for those who meditate and want to learn a different way of meditation by doing daily puja. In the training you will learn the meaning and significance of each element of the ritual. This Newah Vajrayana Buddhist ritual has been passed down from the 3rd century and is critical to the life of our vihara. Maintaining this practice not only benefits the vihara, but also helps those who perform it to grow in their own spirituality. Anyone who is interested is welcome. You do not need any background.
If you want to donate your time and practice, please contact Prajwal Vajracharya
