Daily Prayers

Initiating our Daily Dharma Practice

Are you new to Buddhism and recently took refuge to the Triple Gem? Are you uncertain about how to begin your daily Dharma practice?

We invite you to join an introductory class on Daily Prayers, guided by Venerable Losang Dechen. Suitable for beginners, this session will assist you in establishing your daily prayers, including the Shakyaumuni Buddha Morning Prayers. Gain a deeper understanding of the significance of prayers and mantras.

Introducing the Instructor:

Ani Losang Dechen was ordained in 2006. Since young, Anila has always been interested in religion and spiritual matters. After she came to Thekchen Choling, the urge became more pronounced and she became more dissatisfied with the householder’s way of life. Upon consultation with Singha Rinpoche, Rinpoche suggested her to consider the monastic path. From then, she became a nun at the temple. Anila has since then been active in organizing Dharma activities of chanting, prayers, pujas, house & company blessings and animal liberations. She is also involved in the translation of texts and sutras.
