THE END OF THE BEGINNING...
THE LAMA CHOEPA AND FIRE PUJAS

The Lama Choepa and Fire pujas signal the end of the Vajrasattav 2006 retreat, giving thanks to the Buddhas and the teacher. It also signals the beginning of carrying the "lessons learned" into the rest of the world and the rest of our lives.

The Gelug Lineage Tree was given the Venerable on behalf of all the Retreatants and some of the Participants from Afar
On March 5th we held the Lama Choepa Puja with guests who helped to support our retreat...
including the 78 Participants from Afar.
We made great offerings (Pema, aka a Hungry Ghost)...
... and presented gifts to our teacher.
There were many offerings that showed our appreciation...
... new books for the Library...
Afterwards, we relaxed and told old war-stories...
...to anyone who would listen.
And then we really got into purifying...
...every last negative thought.
Purified (if a little blurry) at last!
It's been an unforgettable experience...
for everyone.
Thank you, Ven. Chodron
