The official reminder has not gone out but thought you might want to plan to participate in the fire puja Sunday.
I do not think we will have kalachakra this week.

Dear friends,
The Chinese new year begins on January 23.
We will celebrate at Dorje ling with a FIRE PUJA
on Sunday January 22 @ 9 am followed by Green Tara chanting .
Please plan to attend and bring any of the following:
alcohol to offer —this will be put on the fire.
food things for the fire—things that burn easily.
your own intention of what you’d like to clear and what you are intending to add.
To prepare for the fire Puja , we will have a group Gompa clearing in Saturday January 21 @ 3 pm.
Bring any cleaning supplies that you might have.
This is a traditional way to not only earn merit for more prosperity for the new year and
also more clarity in your spiritual work.
Join us this FRIDAY @ 7:30 pm to study Way of the Bodhisattva.
All are welcome. We’ll use HHDL commentary (A Flash of Lightening or, the newer reprint, For the benefit of all Sentient beings) .
We will cover chapter 6 (Patience)
Sunday CHANTING
10:30 am GREEN TARA for peace and prosperity.

Hello,
I have been looking at Buddhism for a while and I would like to learn more. I have never been to a Buddhist temple before and there for not quite sure of all of the customs ect. I would like to find out when is the best time for a new comer to visit? Thank you for your time and have a great day.
Chris
Hi Chris,
Please check our calendar for the best time for you.

And feel free to ask questions about customs and Etiquette.
You’ll find out Buddhism is not so strict.
Tara Teaching THIS WEEK ( may 31 and June 2)
Introduction to Tara Practice
Tara is the female Buddha, born from a tear shed by Avalokiteshvara as he wept,
watching sentient being trapped in the suffering of samsara.
She is considered a protector and is called Tara The Quick because she comes as soon as one calls.
WHEN: Tuesday and Thursday (5/31 & 6/2) @ 7:30 pm
WHERE: Dorje Ling Center
WHAT: Green Tara Practice, including visualizations and structure of the sadhana
Suggested Donation: $30/ $15 for Seniors / Students.
Please bring your donation with you to the teachings. We ask that whatever you can give, you give to support both our teacher and our center.
All donations help keep the doors open at Dorje Ling Atlanta. Dorje Ling has no paid staff. All work is done on a voluntary basis.
Our next Teachings will cover Taranatha’s Essence of Nectar.
His teaching on Lam Rim, and how to employ one’s daily path as the ground for enlightenment.
Tashi Delek!
I was wondering what activities are currently being held at the DorjeLing Center in Atlanta. I am aspiring to deepen my practice in Vajrayana tradition. I would be geatly appreciative for any information, or schedule that you could offer.
Many blessings,
