    Dear Readers
    The members of the Steveston Buddhist Temple visited the Thrangu Temple on Sunday, Feb. 26. We had the opportunity of listening to the chanting conducted by the four monks, headed by the Rinpoche. Those familiar with the chant listened intently while some chanted along. It was an experience. We missed the prostration prior to the chanting. Those wishing to observe the rituals of another school of Buddhism are highly recommended to attend.

    The shrine, including the statue of the large Buddha, is very colorful. In fact were told that the shrine and statue were painted by their followers.

    A monk was very forthcoming in explaining the main features of Tibetan Buddhist, branch of Maha Yana Buddhism.

    Gratefully, Roy

    I have previously posted on Thrangu Monastery. Interesting thing to do because it's not really a 'tourist destination'. Thrangu Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery, Karma Kagyu lineage, where serious practitioners can go to learn about the Sacred Dharma and work towards their own liberation.
    What is liberation? It is no less than FREEDOM from the suffering that is part of our cyclic existence.
    The building, the Sacred Art are both beautiful. But what's really amazing is the personal contact with Lamas who have received transmissions of Sacred Dharma. Paths that can lead you back to your true nature.
    If you think this might be for you, go visit.
