Greetings and Tashi Delek!
We're very excited to announce the upcoming classes, programs and events at the Gyuto Vajrayana Center in February 2012.
February 2012 Programs
(*All Programs are held at the Gyuto Center in San Jose unless otherwise indicated. Please check our website periodically for our most updated calendar.)
This event is for TIBETAN-SPEAKING community members only. There will be no translation services or English handouts for either of these events.
Tashi Delek! On Wednesday, February 22nd the Gyuto monks will be celebrating Losar (Tibetan New Year) with a Long Life prayer for His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his tireless efforts to bring peace and harmony throughout the world. We also pray for those who sacrificed their lives for our country. Please join the prayer at Gyuto Vajrayana Center on February 22 at 10:00 am. Lunch will be provided to all visitors until 3:00 pm and the Center will close at 4:00 pm as the monks will be joining the TANC Losar event in the evening.
On Sunday, February 26th Gyuto Center will be organizing an incense offering (Sang-sol) in Santa Cruz on top of the Land of Medicine Buddha mountain. We are encouraging all community members to join the incense offering with Gyuto monks. We are arranging buses for the members but please call us to book your seats by February 20. There will be limited seats and without registration there won’t be seats available to join the bus trip. Please call us in advance to book your seats so we can order buses based on registration. There will be a $25-30 per seat charge for the bus trip depending on the bus size. Each person = 1 seat and children over 2 years of age cannot sit on parents' laps.
We’ll pick up all members from the following two locations: (1) El Cerrito BART station parking lot at 9:30 am sharp and (2) 2349 Waverly St. Oakland at 9:15 am sharp. Those members who wish to drive their own cars please note that it takes two hours to get to Land of Medicine Buddha from Oakland and the trip includes a winding road and extremely difficult parking. If you wish to drive, the address is 5800 Prescott Road, Soquel, CA 95073. The Land of Medicine Buddha's phone number is (831) 452-8383. For those who ride our buses, we’ll return to Oakland/El Cerrito in the afternoon at 4:00 pm.
If you would like to reserve a seat on the bus, please contact Thupten Dhondup at (510) 301-8544 no later than February 20th and please mention which location you would like to join - Oakland or El Cerrito. You can also call the Gyuto Center directly at (408) 926-9430 to make your reservation.
Also, for all members interested in joining the Sang-sol, please bring (lung-dar) prayer flags. There will be a potluck after the Sang-sol. The director of Land of Medicine Buddha is welcoming us to do Losar Sang-sol there.
Have a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year!
