What Is a Puja?
Puja is a Sanskrit word often translated as offering. In Tibetan Buddhist practice, a puja is a prayer and meditation ceremony associated with a Buddha or teaching lineage and undertaken to cultivate beneficial qualities and conditions.
Pujas are recited in Tibetan and English, commonly last about an hour, and are open to visitors. Participants may bring flowers or suitable food as offerings; contact the centre if you would like guidance.
