We all have the same basic wish to be happy. Very few understand the real causes of lasting happiness and grasp at external things such as food, friends, lovers, and money. Superficially, these things can make us temporarily happy, but if we look deeply, we will see it is not the lasting peace we yearn for. It is time to Choose Happiness...because it’s an inside job. 

Raising funds to help people cultivate inner peace

• New signage

• Offerings for shrine & prayer ceremonies
• Center operations (Rent, utilities, supplies)

We are all living in uncertain times, both globally and personally. It is easy to feel troubled by everything that we see in the world, and upset by the difficulties that we’re dealing with daily.

Times of change and uncertainty can be unsettling, but they also can become transformative. By learning to accept and embrace change, we free our mind from fear and anxiety and can cultivate wisdom views that help us keep calm and positive amidst the uncertainty of our lives.

To receive incredible blessings and protection from Green Tara, we will engage in daily weekday practice of Liberation from Sorrow for one month starting on 9/30 and ending 10/24. The practice will be held in person at 5:30 pm. Those unable to attend at the center can request YouTube links by emailing, epc@MeditationInOrangeCounty.org or calling (949) 350-3312.

Liberation from Sorrow which includes a special prayer composed by Buddha, “Praises to the Twenty-one Taras,” is performed regularly at Kadampa Buddhist Centers worldwide.

A female Buddha, Tara is a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all Buddhas. Each of the twenty-one distinct Taras is a manifestation of the principal Green Tara, also known as “Mother of the Conquerors.”
