The purpose of chanted meditation is to increase our good fortune,
receive blessings, purify negative karma and draw closer to the enlightened beings. Through this we create
perfect conditions for finding happiness and peace through successful spiritual practice.
Below are the various chanted meditations we engage in at the centre throughout the month.

Offering to the Spiritual Guide
On the 10th and 25th of each month from 7:30pm - 9:30pm
In this practice we emphasize relying upon our Spiritual Guide, making offerings to him and all the Buddhas, and receiving their blessings. Through this we greatly increase our good fortune and our potential to gain the realizations of all Buddha's Teachings.
Melodious Drum
On the 29th of each month 9:00am - 1:00pm
(30 min break in the middle)
This is a special extended version of Heart Jewel - a very powerful way to remove obstacles to our spiritual practice and create all good conditions for success in our spiritual practice.
Pathway of Compassion for the Deceased
On the last Saturday of each month 3:00pm - 3:45pm
We engage in this practice for the benefit of someone who has died. With our compassion for them, together with the blessings of the Buddha of compassion - Avalokiteshvara, we can remove obstacles and create the causes for them to take a fortunate rebirth in Buddha's pure land.
Dakini Yoga
Every Friday 7:30pm - 9:00pm with Vajrayogini Class
For those who have received Buddha Vajrayogini empowerment. Practising Dakini Yoga enables us to come under the care of the female Buddha of wisdom and bliss - Vajrayogini. Through this we will be able to transform all our daily activities into a dynamic path to enlightenment.
A Pure Life
We recite the pure life prayers at dawn on full moon days and then spend the rest of the day keeping very pure moral discipline. This practice purifies vast amounts of negative karma, increases our good fortune and greatly improves our concentration.
On the 2nd Sunday of each month 9:00pm - 1:00pm
This practice is for people who have received the empowerment of Vajrayogini and completed a counting retreat. Through this practice we can purify our Tantric vows and make rapid progress on the Vajrayana path to enlightenment.
