Preparing for Losar and Lunar New Year 2023, Year of the Water Rabbit. May All Beings be Happy!
Lunar New Year is celebrated in many countries around the world — as Losar or the Tibetan New Year, and as Chinese New Year, or just as “lunar” new year.

Shakyamuni Buddha, born to “warrior caste” taught how to be a fearless Buddhist: overcoming ignorance and suffering with the “weapons” of wisdom and compassion
Shakyamuni Buddha was born to the warrior caste, a prince and heir. As a young adult, when Shakyamuni Buddha cut his hair, he symbolically separated himself from the worldly, including his past role as a princely member of the “warrior caste” — but he didn’t leave behind his warrior’s courage. He remained a warrior, but […]
What is Buddhist Prayer: a wish, an activity, an aspiration, an act of love, a form of meditation?
An Introduction to Buddhist Prayer By Jason Espada In America, and in the West in general these days, people don’t usually associate Buddhism and prayer. We usually think of Buddhism as a tradition that teaches quiet sitting meditation, and it is certainly that. Right below the surface, however, we find that there is a great […]

Tara practice is among the most beautiful and inspiring practices in Mahayana Buddhism, but — why are there so many Taras?

What are the ten benefits of Vajrayogini practice? Why is her practice recommended in our busy, terrifying times?
Why do many Buddhist teachers describe Vajrayogini as the one practice for our busy, hectic, terrifying times which can lead us, in one lifetime, to Enlightenment? Why is Vajrayogini the Sarva Buddha Dakini — the Dakini who is the essence of all the Buddhas and Dakinis? What are the ten benefits of her practice?
