Event Details
Join us to celebrate the culmination of the first fifteen days of the new lunar year with feast offering practices and meditation instruction led by Chhoje Tulku Rinpoche.
Tuesday, February 19, 2019, is a very special day during the first month of the Tibetan year–Chotrul Düchen, which means “The Great Day of Miraculous Manifestations.” The day commemorates the culmination of the miracles displayed by the historical Buddha Shakyamuni to build the faith of his followers during the first fifteen days of the lunar new year.
This first of the four great wheel days in the Tibetan lunar calendar falls on the full moon of the first month of the year. This first month, and especially these first fifteen days, is an especially powerful time for practice as all of our positive and negative actions this month are multiplied 100,000 times. And on Tuesday, Chotrul Düchen, they are multiplied millions of times.
Chhoje Rinpoche has sent instructions on how to work with one’s mind on this day:
“It is a special day for practice. Please generate as much bodhicitta as possible for the benefit of all beings. Develop genuine motivation to free all beings from suffering and the cause of suffering. Generate compassion for all beings including your parents and world leaders. Pray that there is peace in this world as well as throughout the universe.
Wherever space pervades, beings pervade, and there are bodhisattvas there to benefit beings. Pray that you become a bodhisattva to benefit all beings. Afterward, dedicate the merit to the enlightenment of all beings.
The Manjushri dedication prayer is a great one to say. I also recommend that everyone recite the Samantrabhadra Aspiration prayer today. Try the think positively today. I recommend that you refrain from fishing, hunting, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and try to be vegetarian if possible.
All my love, Rinpoche”

Event Details
This Mindful Recovery meeting is open to those interested in the use of Buddhist teachings and practices to help people recover from the suffering caused by addictive behaviors and is open to people of all backgrounds, and respectful of all recovery paths.
This meeting combines meditation, study, and group discussion of Buddhist teachings and Twelve Step literature. Our group is intended as a supplement to, rather than a substitute for, Twelve Step work. We strongly encourage you to fully work the Twelve Steps as part of your personal program of recovery.
Each Tuesday evening, we begin at 7:00 p.m. (note this is a new time effective 11/20/18) downstairs in the community room at PMC. We will begin with meditation instruction and twenty minutes of meditation. We then introduce ourselves however we feel comfortable, followed by the week’s group leader sharing a topic and passing the Talking Stick. Our discussion lasts approximately one hour and we follow the Twelve Step tradition of respecting anonymity and refraining from cross-talk or advice-giving.
We close the meeting with a prayer for world peace and a dedication of merit following the Buddhist tradition of PMC. We encourage you to sign up on the calendar to lead future meetings and share your experience, strength, and hope.
The Padmasambhava Meditation Center generously allows us the use of this space and we ask that you reciprocate when we pass the donation basket.
