Discover The King of Aspirations Prayer with Lama Jampa
The King of Aspirations is one of the most important and uplifting prayers in Mahayana Buddhism — practised for centuries to help people live with compassion, purpose, and vision.
Drawn from the Avatamsaka Sutra, it sets out powerful reflections and heartfelt intentions for anyone on the path to awakening. Lama Jampa will unpack this profound text using the commentary of Drakpa Gyaltsen, a 19th-century Tibetan master and student of the renowned Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo.
Whether you're just curious or already practising, this is a chance to connect with timeless teachings that speak to real life — right here, right now.

The Initiation of Medicine Buddha*
The Medicine Buddha is a symbol of deep spiritual healing in Buddhism — not just for curing illness, but for transforming the mind and heart.
His practice helps us go beyond surface-level fixes by addressing the deeper causes of suffering: attachment, anger, and confusion. Through connecting with his energy, we develop qualities like wisdom, compassion, patience, and clarity — the kind of inner strength that allows us to genuinely help others.
It’s said that even hearing his name can clear negative mental states and open the door to spiritual insight. Practising in his name is a powerful way to bring light and healing to those around us, especially in times of difficulty.
In a world that often feels chaotic or overwhelming, the Medicine Buddha reminds us that we can cultivate peace within — and share that peace with others.
*Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of the initiation.
