Funeral Puja - (Tibetan Mahayana or Chinese Mahayana tradition)
We provide funeral prayer services of the Tibetan tradition with recitation of the Lama Chöpa and Medicine Buddha prayers. We also provide chanting in the Chinese Mahayana tradition. For funerals, between 20-30 of our members typically attend the prayers. For residents of old age homes or anyone unable to afford funeral prayer services, please contact us so we can help. You can also request our sangha to recite the traditional prayers for the deceased which include The Heart Sutra and The King of Prayers for 3 or 7 days. Please contact the temple for more details to assist you in organizing the prayers.
