Lion's Roar Sunday Service October 11, 2020

Today we were joined by Geshe Damchoe and Lama Jinpa to bless the Kalachakra mural. After a few words about Lion's Roar's mission and history, as well dedication to dharma, Lama Jinpa and Geshe Damchoe tell how the image which is the center piece was found with the help our Geshe Tsewang. The local artist, Jonny Knudson, who will be completing the mural, was on hand to talk about his experiences with dharma. The outside gathering then moves to the wall for the blessing. Those gathered circumambulate the Temple while saying the Kalachakra mantra. As part of the celebration, Johnny and Lama Jinpa began the painting on upper part of the wall. (The lower half has been previously completed.)

Like all our Sunday Services, this was a live event. We had two cell phones broadcasting the outdoor event. The recording, at times, isn't very clear to watch or maybe difficult to hear. We hope the spirit and energy of occasion still comes through!

Lion's Roar Dharma Center at Do Nga Dargey Temple in Sacramento, California, is a Tibetan Buddhist Temple within the Gelugpa Lineage.  Lama Yeshe Jinpa is the spiritual director and resident teacher of Lion’s Roar Dharma Center, which he co-founded with Geshe Losang Gyatso in 1992. In 1995, Lama Jinpa received direct heart/mind transmission from Geshe Gyatso after 25 years of Dharma practice and study. He is one of the few western lamas thus far recognized within the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan or Vajrayana Buddhism, the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
