Offering to the Spiritual Guide

We engage in special chanted prayers, or ‘puja’, called Offering to the Spiritual Guide. The practice of relying upon a Spiritual Guide, or ‘Guru Yoga’, is the root of the spiritual path and the foundation of all spiritual attainments. In Kadampa Buddhism, we engage in the Guru Yoga practice of Je Tsongkhapa, who is an emanation of the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri.
