Join us on Sunday, 8th September 2024 for a blessed healing puja dedicated to your beloved furkids. Held in place of September’s Pets Day Out, this is a pet-friendly puja where everypawdy in your furmily — both two and four-legged – is welcome!

It is a wonderful opportunity for your furbabies to be blessed by the Supreme Healer Medicine Buddha — for good health, swift recovery from illness, and a long and happy life.

Pawrents can also chant Medicine Buddha’s mantra during the puja for increased blessings — as YOU have the most direct karmic connection with your pet.

We encourage you to attend in person as your pets will receive an individual blessing during the puja.

 

Event Details

Your furkid will receive an individual blessing during the Medicine Buddha puja for pets.

 

Benefits for furkids and pawrents

  • Heals illness and disease
  • Extends life
  • Increases pawsitivity
  • Helps with accurate diagnosis
  • Increases the effectiveness of medicines and medical treatments
  • Enhances the work of doctors, vets, nurses and healers
  • Purifies negative body karma
  • Creates causes for favourable future rebirths
Your pets cannot accumulate merit and purify karma on their own. As a pawrent, you are the only one who can help them.

 

How to join

Admission to the puja is free and all pets are welcome to attend. Dedicated outdoor seating is available for furkids and pawrents. Please RSVP your attendance here as space is limited.

The Medicine Buddha Puja for Pets is part of Tsem Rinpoche’s Parinirvana Anniversary — an annual prayer festival in Kechara Forest Retreat attended by esteemed lamas and monastic representatives from India and Nepal. This year’s programme takes place from late August to late September 2024.

It is a special time for the spiritual-at-heart to gather in prayer and meditation, generating tremendous merits and positive energy dedicated to the health, well-being and happiness of all sentient beings.

 

The Medicine Buddha Puja for Pets will be done by esteemed lamas and senior monks.
