Buda Shakyamuni Practice

Sadhana of Practice of Shakyamuni Buddha.

This text is the one used in the practices performed at the Guhya Mantrika Community in Portugal.

Shakyamuni Buddha’s Puja is a source of powerful blessings and establishes a strong spiritual connection with the King of Sages, the Precious and Kind Buddha. This Puja involves the practice of offerings, praises, mantra and prayers to the Supreme Master; remembering one’s previous lives and biography.

In this meditation practice we follow the sadhana “Tubchok Djinlab Terdzo – The Treasury of Blessings” by Mipham Rinpoche.

Pujas and Sadhanas

Pujas and Sadhanas are chanted meditations with visualisations, prayers and mantras that embody the essence of the Vajrayana Buddhist Path. Pujas are a powerful method for purifying our negative karma and disturbing emotions, as well as for accumulating merit, or spiritual wealth, and thereby leading to realisation.

By evoking the blessings and presence of Enlightened Beings we dedicate these prayers and the energy generated by mantras and meditation to the cause of world peace, harmony, happiness and enlightenment for all beings. With this compassionate attitude, participation in Pujas and Sadhanas is highly beneficial.

Who can participate? All those with goodwill! Although Pujas and Sadhanas are Vajrayana practices and require the receipt of proper Empowerment, Transmission and Instructions, these announced Pujas are open to the general public. Please arrive 15 minutes early.

Special Dedications: It is possible for anyone to make a gift of sponsorship of a Puja dedicated to a family member or friend who is ill, to someone who has passed away, or for support of specific needs. For more information contact us at [email protected]
