This monthly practice, known as Kangso in Tibetan, consists principally of prayers to our Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden. A Dharma Protector is an emanation of a Buddha or Bodhisattva whose main functions are to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from attaining spiritual realizations, and to arrange all the necessary conditions for their practice. Dorje Shugden always helps, guides, and protects pure and faithful practitioners by granting blessings, increasing their wisdom, fulfilling their wishes and bestowing success on all their virtuous activities. This practice includes a tsog offering, so you can bring a vegetarian food offering with you if you wish.

Taking Precepts is a way of acquainting ourselves with the practice of moral discipline which helps us avoid the causes of suffering. When we take precepts, we promise to refrain from certain negative actions for a 24-hour period and we promise to eat only one meal at midday. We then lead our life that day with our precepts vows held firmly in our hearts. Once we have received the precepts from a qualified preceptor, we can take them as often as we wish. Through this practice we can purify negativity and create the causes for happiness in the future.
