Pujas & Rituals
Buddhist rituals, known as pujas, take place regularly at She Drup Ling. Puja means "worship" or "devotion". Usually it is an offering ritual. In the simplest case, the offering consists of flowers and incense and is usually accompanied by prayers.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the practitioner also connects to a specific Buddha aspect through visualisations and meditation. Pujas can be held privately or in public.
It is considered particularly meritorious to perform pujas on Buddhist holidays.
Whether you are a practitioner or just curious, you are warmly invited to participate in our pujas! No registration necessary.

It was the wish of Ven. Lore Dandl to continue the practice according to her interpretation. This is why after the Puja, we share the Tsok offerings (food offerings) we bring.
Whether you are a practitioner or just interested, you are welcome to attend the puja. If you want to fully benefit from this practice on all levels, you will need an empowerment by a qualified lama.
We ask you bring a small financial contribution for the maintenance of our centre and/or contributions for the (breakfast) Tsokwe share after the ritual.
The Puja also takes place online via ZOOM : https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81027406454

Medicine Buddha Puja
Whenon the 8th day of the tibetan calender, 17.30 - 18.15
Lead by: Ulrike Holzer, Barbara Klell, Tara Klell
The Buddha is frequently called the „Great Physician“ because he aims at healing us with his teachings from the disease of suffering.
Read more
In the Mahayana (the Great Vehicle), this healing aspect is personified as the blue Medicine Buddha, the „Medicine Master, King of Lapislazuli Light“.
The Medicine Buddha does not only heal diseases of the body but especially the mental afflictions, which are causes for both mental and physical suffering. Connecting with the Medicine Buddha through recitations and meditations, as we do during the puja, supports the healing process of sick people but also enhances the energy and motivation of medical professionals.
The Puja also takes place online via ZOOM : https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81027406454
