Every month according to the lunar calendar, the venerable monks at the Gyuto center perform a Mahakala Puja dedicated to the Center's members, friends and all sentient beings.

Mahakala is the in the wrathful aspect of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion. The main role of Mahakala is to fulfill the four enlightened activities of pacifying interferences, increasing favorable circumstances, gaining control over situations and if all else fails destroying obstacles with wrathful force.

Everyone is welcome. All the participants can bring flowers, fruits and candles, etc. for the altar.

The text for the icon Praise of 6-Arm Mahakala can be downloaded from our website.

Tara is the principal female manifestation of enlightenment in the Buddhist tradition.

As Tara dispels personal and global obstacles, we come together to ensure the ongoing stability of the Center, its community and ourselves.
