Dedicate a Practice
When you or a loved one is in need of prayers, dedicating a practice at KPC is a big boost to the power of those prayers. KPC does many practices a day and you can dedicate any of them, any day, to family, friends, people you don’t know personally, animals, and yourself! Here are some of the practices we do, and their benefits.
Some of the Practices Available to Dedicate
P’howa
P’howa generates positive merit to help someone who has just passed away. Amitabha, the Buddha of Limitless Light, represents our pure nature and symbolizes the transmutation of desire, the predominant emotion of the human realm. He is said to be the Buddha that will meet you at your time of passing to guide you to enlightenment. This practice calls upon his swift assistance to help the deceased enter the Pure Land of Dewachen and connect with the luminous, limitless nature of their own mind.
Performed weekly. Suggested donation $50.

Medicine Buddha
Medicine Buddha is invoked to heal physical, mental, and emotional ailments. This practice helps eliminate pain, purify disease, and restore health for anyone you dedicate it to. Beyond addressing physical sickness, it purifies the underlying karmic causes of suffering and cultivates holistic well-being. Guided by his compassionate vows to heal all afflictions, Medicine Buddha’s blessings are accessible through this condensed practice, created by Jetsunma so anyone can easily participate.
Performed daily at 5:30pm Eastern Time on Facebook and YouTube. Suggested donation $10.

Riwo Sang Chöd

This profound practice purifies past negative actions, cleanses the environment, increases health and prosperity, and stimulates world peace.
Performed every Sunday at 2:30pm Eastern Time at the Guru Rinpoche Statue at the entrance to the Peace Park, weather permitting, or in the Prayer Room. Suggested donation $21.
